How to Prove Retaliation in the Workplace

Retaliation is defined as adverse action resulting from an individual's protected activity – complaining, essentially, about discrimination for your race, your sex, your gender, religion, national origin, disability, perceived disability, age, pregnancy, or sexual orientation. One of the ways in which you can prove that you've been retaliated against is if you can show that you were up for promotion and because of your complaint of discrimination, you were not considered anymore, or if your hours were cut, if you were transferred to a worse position than the one you initially had, or if you were terminated for complaining about discrimination.
