Retaliation |
||
|
· Retaliation is defined to include discharge, suspension, demotion, or any other action that adversely affects the terms and conditions of the employment. These claims arise in a variety of situations. · There are three basic elements to a retaliation claim: 1. That you engaged in a protected activity, such as opposition to discrimination or participation in an activity protected by statute; 2. That you suffered an adverse employment action; and 3. That there is a causal connection between the protected activity and the adverse employment action. · Some common situations where retaliation may occur include, but are not limited to reporting employer violations to OSHA, improper use of medications or patient treatment in hospitals and convalescent homes, vehicular or truck safety violations, opposing illegal activities in the workplace, opposing discrimination in the workplace or participating in union sanctioned activities.
