In today's workplace retaliation for opposing unlawful conduct is considered to be quite common. As a rule, when an employee complains about unlawful activity the supervisor, manager or employer disciplines or terminates the complaining employee. However, this is illegal.

Retaliation is considered to be anything that changes the terms and conditions of your employment. It can range from giving you the cold shoulder to termination. Examples of retaliation include increased harassment or verbal abuse for opposing unlawful conduct; demotion or denial of promotion; relocation to an undesirable location; reduction in hours or pay; changing schedules to an undesirable shift; assigning undesirable job duties; change in compensation plans or programs; denial of training or opportunity for advancement; discipline such as warnings, suspension or probation for trumped up charges and termination.
