Common Reasons for Retaliation
As highly experienced attorneys, we have helped thousands of workers who found themselves the victims of retaliation. There are many reasons why an employer might choose to retaliate against an employee, such as:
Retaliation for Union Activity
Our firm is adept at handling the special issues faced by labor unions in Wisconsin, including issues of retaliation against union workers. If you are a union member and you engage in protected concerted activity, such as asking for better wages or better working conditions, you are protected from retaliation. We are one of the few Wisconsin law firms handling retaliation cases for union activity, and we have an excellent record of success in these cases.
Recognizing Retaliation
Retaliation comes in many forms, some more obvious than others. When you come to us, we will investigate the situation and help you take appropriate action. Some common types of workplace retaliation are:
- Wrongful discharge/wrongful termination (firing)
- Demotion
- Unwanted transfer
