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.

The trial court erred by granting appellees' motion for summary judgment as there is a reasonable dispute of fact whether the display of a noose in appellant's vehicle was severe enough conduct to create a hostile work environment. The trial court also erred by granting appellees' motion for summary judgment as to appellant's retaliation claim. There is a reasonable dispute of fact whether appellant's termination based on his refusal to turn over the noose to appellees, or allow them to cut a piece of it for use in the investigation, was protected activity. Judgment reversed and remanded.
