| EMPLOYER RETALIATION |
| Retaliation Being retaliated against for "Protected Activity" First a quick caution: Most people I talk to who think they have a good "retaliation" lawsuit do not, in my opinion. The law is very technical, and the considerations are numerous. This article is intended to give yousome insight into what the legal system looks for in deciding whether you might have some of the basics of a retaliation case. Even if you think your case might qualify as a "retaliation" case, that only begins the inquiry into whether you might have a worthwhile case from a lawyer's perspective. TimsLaw.com |

| * WILLAS SHAW EXPRESS BLACK BALLING DIRT BAGS MISTREATS AND ABUSES YOUNG TRUCKER, ELM SPRINGS INTERNET CONSUMER SUGGESTION ..WILLIS SHAW I drove a truck for Willis Shaw for 10 months. I turned over a trailer and I was fired at the end of March 2002. Since then I have applied for numerous jobs, both driving and non driving and no one will hire me and they refuse to tell me why.

| * BLACKBALLED: A PERSONAL DRC EXPERIENCE After working for the San Mateo county Sheriff's Office Forensic laboratory, I was unemployed for six months before deciding to attend business school at a cost of between $20 - 25,000. It is now seven months after graduation and I am still unable to find gainful employment. In total, I have been effectively unemployed for almost three and a half years. I ask that a reference check be performed (using documented reference Check, see Employee University) as I neared graduation last December. Unfortunately, I did not receive the results until three to four months later and so was unable to take preventative measures. bullyinginstitue.org |

| Employer's Retaliatory Actions Prove Costly Spring 2002 Frequently, an employer's response to a discrimination claim can be more troublesome than the underlying claim itself. A Federal Court in New York recently confirmed this principle when it dismissed an employee's age discrimination complaint, but allowed the employee's retaliation charge which arose out of the age claim to proceed to trial. In reaching this conclusion, the court demonstrated how employers can instill life into an otherwise meritless case. Testa,Hurwitz&Thibeault |
| Retaliation - The Suit of Choice By Robert E. Bettac April 2001 It is no surprise that most claims alleging discrimination because of sex, race, etc. are unsuccessful. Experienced labor practitioners know, however, that this may not be the end of the matter. The complainant's status was often already shaky when the charge was brought. In the aftermath of the charge, the employee's apathy about his job and management's impatience with less-than-exemplary performance can lead to further problems. If management resolves to accelerate the employee's departure, it may find that it has transformed the unmeritorious claim into a risk of serious liability. Akin,Gump,Strauss,Hauer&Feld |
| Supreme court Rules On Retaliation Claim By Bill C. Berger May 11, 2001 Retaliation claims have become increasingly popular. In the typical retaliation claim, the plaintiff alleges that he was the victim of mistreatment at work. For example, he might assert that he was subjected to discrimination. He then alleges that he complained to management, and after his complaint, the company retaliated against him. DenverBusinessJournal |
| Retaliatory Employer Hit with $300,000 Punitive Damages By Maura M. Jakola Winter 2003 Even when an employer is confident that an allegation of discrimination is meritless, the company must still consider whether its actions following such an allegation may constitute retaliation. Indeed, the Seventh Circuit Court of Apples recently upheld a jury verdict for a female plaintiff based on the Title VII retaliation charge, even though the court had dismissed her sex discrimination claims. The jury awarded the plaintiff $3.5 million in punitive damages. Testa,Hurwitz&Thibeault |
| Complaining Former Employee Fails to Prove Retaliation By D. Jay Summer October 8, 2002 Many employers use an exit interview process as a tool for keeping in touch with employee opinions and for identifying issues contributing to turnover. Even without a formal process, many employees find a way to voice their opinion of the company as they are departing. Somewhat surprisingly, the former employees who are the most vocal in their criticism of the employer are often eager to reapply, even after voluntarily resigning. when the employee's comments include allegations of discrimination, the decision of whether or not to rehire can leave the company facing even more criticism.
