Workplace Retaliation
In the United States, employers are prohibited from discriminating against their employees. Retaliation is one of the most frequently claimed basis of discrimination in the workplace. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), workplace retaliation occurs when an employer takes negative action against an employee who has filed a formal complaint about a workplace discrimination.

In addition to Federal law, many states hold their own laws regarding retaliation in the workplace. In California, workplace retaliation requires: (1) the employer to take an adverse employment action against an employee, (2) because the employee engaged in a protected activity.

- Reporting a safety code violation

- Reassigning or demoting an employee
