Complaints Come in All Shapes and Sizes
Numerous state and federal laws protect employees from retaliation for complaining about illegal conduct. Oftentimes, these “complaints” are easy to spot. Sometimes, they aren’t. Recently, a court in Tennessee held that calling the employer racist and telling an African-American co-worker that he will never be promoted can qualify as “complaining.” In doing so, this court recognized that not all complaints look the same, but that they all provide some sort of protection for the complaining employee.
