Workplace Retaliation

Workplace Retaliation

What is Workplace Retaliation?

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws prohibit the punishment of a job applicant or employee for asserting their rights to be free from employment discrimination, including harassment.  Rights under these laws are called “protected activities,” for example:

  • Filing or being a witness in an EEO complaint,
  • Communicating with a supervisor about employment discrimination, or
  • Asking managers or co-workers about salary information to uncover potentially discriminatory wages.

For a more in-depth list of what qualifies as a protected activity under EEO laws, visit this EEOC page.

You Suspect Retaliation – What Next?

First, have a conversation with your supervisor – they may have a reasonable, legitimate explanation.  If they do not, you may want to express to them your concerns about retaliation, or you may choose to speak with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).  You may also decide to contact an attorney, to

  • explore the situation,
  • understand your rights,
  • determine if you have a strong case, and
  • whether and how to proceed.

What Our Clients Are Saying

“

I got hurt on a cotton gin when the rollers on the condenser unit caught my arm and pulled me into the machine. My arm was smashed up to my elbow. I lost muscle and all my nerves and still have pain to this day. A local Lubbock lawyer dropped my case because my employer didn’t have workmen’s comp. I called Eric Marye and he worked on my case for about two years. We got real close to trial and at the second settlement meeting, my case settled for one and a half million dollars (Client received $900,000). He got my medical bills paid and I am getting a check every month from the insurance company for the rest of my life. I am definitely happy with the job Mr. Marye did for me and my family and would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney for a serious injury.

I hit an 18-wheeler that ran a stop sign on a highway in Louisiana. A local lawyer told me that he could get me $600,000 for my case if I was lucky. I had brain surgery and I couldn’t raise my arm. After hiring Eric Marye, he got me to a good doctor that told me I had a torn rotator cuff and operated on my shoulder. He also sent me to a doctor for my brain injury and a psychiatrist. He settled my case for almost two million dollars! (Client received $1,266,666.67.) I am getting a check each month for the rest of my life.

Eric and his staff did the most wonderful job helping me get a start in life after my work accident. I got shocked at work from a broken electric stove. My employer did not want to back me up so I hired Eric through my daughter, and he got a lot of experts and we went to trial on my case and won. We got everything we asked for and I ended up with a lot more money than I thought I could get, especially now that I am retired. If anyone needs a super lawyer, hire him because he is the best. Thanks again Eric.

When my wife was killed by an eighteen-wheeler, my family and I hired Eric Marye. Eric did a great job on the case. Not only was he a great lawyer, but he also became a friend. If you need a lawyer for an eighteen-wheeler accident, hire Eric.

Milton Jensen
“

Initially, I couldn’t find a lawyer willing to take my case. I was in a one-car accident on the job and had a head injury so I couldn’t remember what happened. Eric Marye found two witnesses and sued my company. The settlement was confidential, but I am very happy with what Eric did for me. My life would be much different if I hadn’t hired Eric Marye’s firm.
