No, it's a violation of California Labor Code Section 132(a)

Talk to your WCAB attorney about whether there are grounds for a 'retaliation' claim in WCAB. That would be your only remedy.

It depens on many factors such as if the plan to lay off was planned prior to your date of injury and whether you were singled out because you filed a claim for injury. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
