Re: what action can I take??
Assuming that there is no contract or collective bargaining type of agreement which allows for this kind of employee activity, you can simply fire the person on the spot. After all, the Commonwealth of Virginia is an employment at will jurisdiction where employees working without a contract can be dismissed for virtually
any reason which does not violate federal anti-discrimination laws.
Re: what action can I take??
Obviously more information is needed. Virginia is an at-will state, meaning you can fire them at any time for any non-discriminatory reason. HOWEVER, if the reason they are trying to file complaints is the result of a whistleblower or protected EEO activity, contact an attorney before doing anything.
