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:

Workplace Retaliation
What is Workplace Retaliation?
- 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.
