http://www.discriminationattorney.com/lawyer-attorney-1287342.htmlA California Court awarded a police officer $3.6 million dollars after he was demoted from his position and suffered retaliation for protecting a sexually harassed colleague. Officer Bender was thrown out of the canine bomb unit and demoted after he protected the only woman in the unit from being the subject of obscene jokes and innuendos, and being excluded from training sessions. Bender lost almost half of his pay after the demotion, and had to refinance his house. This, sadly, is not an isolated incident. In September of this year, another police officer was awarded $3.1 million. He was penalized for reporting a superiors’ use of racial epithets and possible embezzlement.

Retaliation in the workplace is not uncommon. If you have been a ‘whistle blower‘ at work, and have reported an employer’s illegal behavior to the government or to law enforcement, your employer may not retaliate against you.
