From Lakraj Justice – Fighting Back Against Power Over People

You spoke up. You reported harassment, discrimination, unpaid wages, or unsafe working conditions. And then suddenly… You were written up. Demoted. Terminated. That’s not a coincidence. That may be illegal retaliation.

At Lakraj Justice, we represent employees who face backlash simply for asserting their rights. Employers cannot punish you for reporting unlawful behavior. When they do, we hold them accountable.

What Is Workplace Retaliation?

Retaliation happens when an employer takes negative action against you because you are engaged in protected activity.

Protected activity includes:

• Reporting discrimination or harassment
• Filing a complaint with HR
• Requesting disability or pregnancy accommodations
• Reporting unpaid wages or overtime violations
• Participating in a workplace investigation
• Taking protected medical or family leave

If you experienced discipline, demotion, pay cuts, schedule changes, or termination shortly after speaking up, that timing matters.

Signs You May Have a Retaliation Case

Retaliation is not always obvious. Employers often disguise it as “performance issues” or “restructuring.”

Common warning signs include:

• Suddenly negative performance reviews after years of positive feedback
• Being excluded from meetings or opportunities
• Increased scrutiny or micromanagement
• Termination shortly after filing a complaint

If your work didn’t change, but your treatment did, that’s a red flag.

Why Timing Is Critical

Employment demands have strict deadlines. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim.

The sooner you speak with an experienced employment attorney, the better your chances of preserving evidence and protecting your rights.
