Retaliation lawsuits are legal actions that are typically brought against employers or companies by people who have been terminated, demoted, or otherwise deprioritized. In most instances they allege that employment status was changed not because of some failure to perform or other good cause, but rather as a specific response to something the employee did that made the company look bad — something that was totally legal and in some cases even required. Most of these lawsuits concern things like the reporting of internal fraud, discriminatory hiring practices, or improper reporting. Employees who betray their companies by turning this sort of information over to the authorities are often known as “whistleblowers.” Many countries’ employment laws offer certain protections for people who are included in this group, but people are still sometimes fired or demoted for reasons that, at least on paper, are unrelated to their whistleblowing activities. Retaliation suits are often filed in these situations.
