Legal Question in Discrimination Law in California
Demoted then terminated after file discrimination with the state and had employe
I was demoted 2 weeks ago and then just terminated 3 days ago on no grounds and escorted off the property with out even being told I was terminated just sent home to find out 2 days later I was terminated. I have file with the state a discrimination claim and told employees that they could call the labor board in order to get paid there overtime the labor board is investigating the claims. I think I was terminated because of discrimination and my discrimination claim and for having the employees call the labor board. What is my legal stand on this matter and where can I go from here.

Re: Demoted then terminated after file discrimination with the state and had emp
California law prohibits retaliation against an employee who makes a wage and hour complaint. Federal law also prohibits retaliation against an employee who is taking action on behalf of other employees. You should seek counsel to determine whether you have a claim. If you require assistance, feel free to call.

IF you can demonstrate that you were fired in retaliation after filing a discrimination claim, that is grounds for a suit, as it would be if you could demonstrate you were fired in retaliation after assisting others in filing wage claims. If you can prove those claims, you should pursue the suit. Contact me if interested in discussing the facts and other issues.
