Retaliation

Washington and Idaho Retaliation Attorneys

It is illegal for an employer to terminate an employee in retaliation for certain actions, including whistleblower claims, accusations of sexual harassment, taking time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and more. For years, the Law Office of Christine M. Weaver in Spokane has pursued employee claims and helped employers comply with employment law. If you need legal advice about whistleblower claims or any other form of retaliation, we are here for you.

Our lawyers are available to represent victims of whistleblower retaliation and other forms of retaliation, and to counsel companies that want to minimize the risk of legal claims. These and other employment law topics are the primary legal matters we handle. Our focus on employment law provides us with a depth of knowledge and resources that we are ready to put to work for you.

Retaliation can take the form of wrongful termination or constructive discharge. Constructive discharge is a term used when an employer intentionally makes the workplace impossible to deal with, forcing an employee to terminate his or her own employment. Retaliation can also take the form of abuse and mistreatment at work, failure to promote or provide a raise, and other actions.

Some common forms of retaliation in labor and industry and other types of jobs include:

  • Whistleblower retaliation
  • Union activity retaliation
  • Family and Medical Leave Act retaliation (FMLA retaliation)
  • Retaliation for workers' compensation claims
  • Retaliation for bringing or opposing a sexual harassment claims
  • Retaliation for complaints of workplace discrimination via pay differentials and glass ceilings
  • Retaliation for complaints of safety violations and safety hazards
