Certain forms of retaliation at work are illegal.
Workplace conduct that is protected from retaliation by law includes complaints
of discrimination and harassment and objections to (or refusals to engaged in)
illegal activity at work, or complaints for failure to pay wages. When
retaliation takes the form of a lay off or firing, it can be challenged in
court as a wrongful termination.
