About Retaliation Claims

Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activity, such as filing a discrimination complaint, reporting safety violations, or participating in an investigation. Retaliation is the most commonly filed charge with the EEOC. These cases examine whether a causal connection exists between the protected activity and the adverse employment action.

Ohio Ct. App.Oct 21, 2021Ohio

Trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of appellee employer in wrongful discharge in violation of public policy claim where clarity and jeopardy elements were met. The jeopardy element was met because the clear public policy articulated in R.C. Chapter 4115 protects not only the society's interest in supporting collective bargaining, but also the substantive right of employees to be paid prevailing wage, and the remedies available in R.C. Chapter 4115 are inadequate to protect such substantive right of appellant employee.
