APEX Attorneys Advocates for Employees Victimized by Unlawful Workplace Retaliation

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- APEX Attorneys¹ stands firm in its commitment to advocate for employees subjected to unlawful retaliation in the workplace. Recognizing the growing need to protect employees’ rights, APEX Attorneys highlights the importance of safeguarding those who assert their rights to a discrimination-free work environment. From filing complaints about discrimination and harassment to participating in investigations, employees engaging in these lawful actions are shielded by law against retaliatory responses from their employers.

Retaliation in the workplace—whether through unjust terminations, demotions, or hostile work environments—is unacceptable and illegal when it penalizes employees for asserting their rights. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), actions such as reporting harassment, participating as a witness in an EEO charge, or refusing to follow discriminatory orders are considered “protected activities.” Despite this, employees are often met with punitive responses when they choose to stand up for themselves or their colleagues.

“Employees should never feel unsafe or penalized for exercising their rights in the workplace. Our firm is dedicated to providing the legal support they need to fight against unlawful retaliation, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are preserved. We believe that all employees deserve a fair, respectful, and discrimination-free workplace.” said Michael Ronen, President of APEX Attorneys.²

Recognizing Unlawful Retaliation

Unlawful retaliation can manifest in a variety of ways. Some of the most common forms include:

-Filing or Serving as a Witness in an EEO Charge: Employees participating in discrimination investigations or filing charges are protected from any form of punishment for their involvement.
-Discussing Discrimination or Harassment Issues: Openly discussing workplace issues related to discrimination or harassment is a legal right that cannot lead to retaliation.
-Providing Information During Investigations: Cooperation in workplace investigations into harassment or discrimination cannot lawfully lead to negative consequences.
-Refusing Discriminatory Orders or Rejecting Sexual Advances: Employees are protected from retaliation when refusing to engage in or support discriminatory or unethical practices.
