Was I Retaliated Against?
Courageous people speak up about illegal conduct or safety violations in the workplace. Those workers who speak out about these issues should be celebrated, not treated badly. Workplace retaliation damages careers and financial futures. Whether you were terminated, overlooked for promotion, demoted, started receiving unfair write-ups, negative reviews, and other disciplinary action,
To mitigate this, Jackson APC protects whistleblowers and successfully negotiates or litigates claims and has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of clients.

- Resisting sexual advances of a supervisor or colleague and reporting it
- Disclosing the amount of your wages
