PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF WORKERS WHO WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY THEIR EMPLOYER
Responsible and hard-working employees should never have to fear losing their job after being victimized by their employers. Unfortunately, it happens all the time across Southern California. The act of whistleblowing is often stereotyped as “snitching”. However, it takes tremendous courage for an employee to report any violations of the law committed by their boss. Whistleblowers often play an important role in changing a toxic work environment to help provide a more safe and enjoyable workplace. My name is Jeffrey Rager and I am a Los Angeles whistleblower attorney. Over the years, I have represented many workers who were wrongfully terminated after reporting serious violations committed by their employers. Whether it is discrimination of race, gender or sexual orientation, nobody should have to fear retribution from their employer. The legal team at Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers is committed to helping clients recover the full compensation they deserve.ARE YOU A WHISTLEBLOWER WHO HAS LOST THEIR JOB? YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Every employee deserves to work in a safe environment for a company with good business practices that complies with the law. But if your employer has committed an illegal act or is utilizing questionable or unethical business practices, it is easy to feel powerless. Many employees often do nothing and allow the problems to persist. Others take action to help make a positive change. Some of the most common violations committed by employers include:- Falsification of financial documents, invoices and loan documents
- Discrimination based on race, gender, age or sexual orientation
- Illegal and unethical business practices
- Sexual harassment
- Tax fraud
- Loss of benefits
- Violations of obligations to partners or shareholders
