Can I Get Fired For Filing A Complaint Against My Employer?
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) in addition to other federal laws, protect employees from any employer retaliation arising from the filing of a complaint. An employment lawyer or wrongful termination attorney can give you legal advice.
These laws apply to both individual and union employees and provide legal protection to those who file a complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or other government agencies concerning:
- Unsafe working conditions
- Environmental issue
- Certain public safety hazards
- Violations of federal provisions (securities fraud, etc.) Or other protected activities
Exercising your right as an employee to report these issues cannot be held against you or used as an excuse to negatively impact your job.
