Oklahoma Workplace Retaliation Attorney

Many rights and protections are afforded to employees under state and federal laws. However, these rights are meaningless unless asserted. At Eddy Law Firm, we advocate for employees who have been subjected to retaliation as a result of asserting other rights in the workplace. If you have suffered retaliation as a result of filing a claim against your employer, we are here to assert your rights in court. Contact our Oklahoma City employment lawyers to discuss a retaliation claim.

Know Your Employment Rights

As experienced workplace retaliation attorneys, we want to ensure employees thoroughly understand their rights under state and federal employment laws.

Whistleblower laws: provide strict protection to employees who report fraudulent conduct of an employer. Employers are barred from discriminating against or terminating employees for pursuing a whistleblower action.
Title VII/Discrimination and Harassment laws: Title VII and similar laws indicate that employees of a protected class (age, race, pregnancy, disability, sex/gender, national origin, religion, etc.) shall not be discriminated against or subjected to harassment in the workplace (including hostile work environment). The law also protects employees who file a claim alleging discrimination or harassment.
First amendment rights: The First Amendment of the Constitution grants government workers the right to free speech. This includes conduct in political campaigns and reporting illegal conduct. Therefore, employees in the political arena cannot be subjected to adverse employment actions as a result of asserting their First Amendment rights.

Employee Retaliation

If you have been written up, demoted, terminated or suffered other adverse employment action after asserting your employment rights, you may have a legitimate workplace retaliation claim against your employer. Our firm vigorously holds employers accountable for retaliating against employees who have filed discrimination complaints or have opposed or reported other illegal conduct.
