Retaliation as Unlawful Discrimination

Retaliation in many of its forms is unlawful, according to the federal discrimination laws. Oftentimes, the case for a retaliation complaint is stronger than for an underlying discrimination complaint and is easier to prove.

"Retaliation in the workplace occurs when your employer takes some adverse action against you or a member of your family that follows closely after you either have made a formal complaint to certain government agencies (such as the Labor Department, or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) or have participated in the investigation of a complaint."
