Provisions in many federal and state laws protect employees from retaliation for reporting illegal acts committed by their employers. For example, if you witness discriminatory behavior in the workplace and report it to the EEOC, your employer is not allowed to retaliate against you.

Samuel J. Cordes is an experienced employee rights law firm in Pittsburgh. We aggressively represent employees who have suffered adverse consequences for reporting illegal behavior.

The whistleblower laws were enacted to protect people from workplace retaliation.

You cannot be fired or disciplined for:

• Reporting sexual harassment or discrimination in the workplace
• Reporting environmental law violations by your employer
• Reporting bribery or government corruption
• Refusing to participate in the commission of an illegal act
  
  

You should not fear adverse consequences for reporting the illegal behavior of your employer. If you have suffered retaliation, Samuel J. Cordes will seek justice for you. Remedies in whistleblower cases vary according to the specific circumstances of each case and the employee’s preference. These can include compensation for lost wages and benefits, reinstatement or some combination of these. You may also be entitled to obtain attorneys fees and in some cases, compensation for your emotional distress.

Our employment law attorneys have years of experience standing up for both private and public sector employees who have suffered retaliation and discrimination in the workplace. We are aggressive and skilled litigators who are determined to win for our clients.

If you have been terminated, disciplined or denied a promotion in retaliation for reporting illegal behavior, we will tenaciously represent you.
