We protect Whistleblowers and Those Who have Been Retaliated Against At Work

An employer may not retaliate against an individual for opposing unlawful discrimination (based on any protected category, such as age, disability, gender, national origin, pregnancy, race, or religion) or for filing a charge of discrimination (with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or equivalent state agency), testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or litigation under Federal or State discrimination laws.

Federal law also provides protections for employees of publicly-traded companies who report certain types of fraud. "Qui Tam" or "False Claim" cases allow employees who learn that their employer is defrauding the federal government to report same and potentially be awarded a portion of the proceeds recovered by the government.

There are many specific whistleblower and retaliation statutes that protect everyone from nurses to executives to over-the-road truck drivers and airline pilots. An experienced employment lawyer can help you determine what legal protections might be available to you.
