Unfortunately, discrimination, injuries, and health and safety violations occur at workplaces across the country. Some employers prioritize their reputation over safety standards, and they may retaliate against employees who report injuries and discrimination or make whistleblower claims. Situations like this can make it challenging for workers to report concerns out of fear of being demoted or fired. However, according to federal and state law, it is illegal for employers to retaliate against workers for engaging in legally protected activities in the workplace.
