IF YOU PLAN ON WORKING HERE -- KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Employees are legally protected when they discuss workplace conditions.
Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), workers have the right to discuss:
- Manager behavior
- Workplace treatment
- Harassment
- Safety
- Fairness
Retaliation for these activities is illegal.
In Nevada specifically:
The Nevada Equal Rights Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor both take retaliation claims seriously, especially when tied to:
- Hostile work environment
- Abuse of authority
- Whistleblowing behavior
Official Legal Statement on Workplace Retaliation (Nevada & Federal Law)
Under both Nevada law and federal labor protections, it is unlawful for an employer to take adverse employment action (such as suspension, discipline, demotion, termination, or other punitive measures) against an employee for engaging in a protected activity, including discussing workplace conditions or reporting mistreatment of employees.
Specifically:
1. Federal Law - National Labor Relations Act (NLRA):
The NLRA (29 U.S.C. § 151 et seq.) protects employees' rights to engage in "concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection."
This includes employees discussing conditions of employment with each other or raising concerns about supervisor conduct, even if there is no union.
Employers are prohibited from retaliating or disciplining employees for engaging in such protected activity, and any adverse action that would deter a reasonable employee from asserting these rights may constitute a violation.
2. Nevada State Law - Anti-Retaliation Protections:
Nevada law makes it unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, including reporting workplace harassment, discrimination, unsafe conditions, or other employment rights.
Retaliation includes actions such as suspension, termination, demotion, reduction of hours, or any adverse employment action taken as punishment or reprisal for protected conduct.
* Nevada Revised Statutes specifically bar employers from retaliating against employees who assert their rights under state employment law.
3. Retaliation Defined
"Retaliation" occurs when an employer takes an adverse employment action against an employee because the employee has engaged in protected activity.
Adverse actions include any disciplinary or punitive action that could dissuade a reasonable employee from complaining about unlawful conduct, reporting mistreatment, or supporting co-workers in asserting rights.
4. Legal Recourse and Enforcement
Employees who believe they have been retaliated against can file complaints with:
- The Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) for violations of Nevada employment law;
- The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for violations of the NLRA;
And, where applicable:
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
for retaliation tied to discrimination or harassment complaints.
