00:04
retaliation cases are unfortunately very
00:07
common people speak up they speak up
00:11
maybe not even knowing that they have
00:13
the legal right to do it they speak up
00:15
maybe even being mistaken as to what was
00:18
really happening
00:19
but the law still protects them and an
00:22
employee who complains about something
00:25
that they believed to be illegal has a
00:27
right to make that complaint even if
00:29
they don’t say anything about the law an
00:31
employee who complains about something
00:34
they believed to be illegal has a right
00:36
to make that complaint even if
00:37
ultimately they were wrong I had a case
00:40
just last year where my client thought
00:43
that his coworker was being sexually
00:45
harassed and in the end it turned out he
00:48
was wrong that’s not what was really
00:50
happening
00:51
but management was still so frustrated
00:54
with his complaint that they fired him
00:56
for it the law was still there to
00:58
protect him and we were able to resolve
01:00
the case satisfactorily
