Austin Gender Retaliation Attorney

Women and Men Have Protected Rights

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal for government agencies or businesses with over 15 employees to discriminate against applicants or employees based on their gender. This law applies to men as well as women.

Every year, thousands of employees come forward to expose discriminatory behavior in their places of work. In the best case scenarios, the problems are dealt with effectively and employees are able to return to productive work routines. Unfortunately, some employers are more interested in seeking revenge than addressing the gender discrimination problems in their companies.

Gender Discrimination Retaliation

The practice of singling out complaining employees for unfair punishment is called retaliation. At the offices of Austin workplace retaliation employees Melton & Kumler, we are prepared to fight against every form of retaliation, including:

• Unfair dismissal, demotion, or discipline
• Threats against an employee’s job or health
• Unjustified negative reviews
• Any tactics which would deter a reasonable person from exercising their rights.

The laws against workplace retaliation are only designed to protect workers against serious offenses. They do not cover ordinary acts of rudeness, such as isolated comments or cold behavior.
