Are You a Victim of Workplace Retaliation?
The law is very specific regarding retaliation, whistleblower and wrongful termination claims. Documenting the behavior of your fellow employees or management is critical in these cases. Our lawyer Sonja D. Peterson can advise you regarding the steps you should take to protect your rights and legal options.
If our firm does believe that you have a valid and supportable claim, Dunnwald & Peterson, P.A. will seek justice for you and an appropriate legal remedy.
Whistleblower Claims
Under Minnesota law, your employer cannot ask that you perform an illegal act while performing your job duties. If the employer does so and you refuse, or if you report a clear violation of the law committed by your employer and your employer then retaliates against you, you can file suit under the Minnesota Whistleblowers Act. You may be entitled to compensation for financial losses and emotional suffering or restitution to your previous position.
Sonja D. Peterson has represented employees in employment law matters for more than 25 years. Ms. Peterson will be your strong advocate — seeking justice and compensation for you.
To succeed in a whistleblower action, the act in question must be a violation of the law and not just an ethical violation. Being told to violate an environmental regulation or witnessing a criminal act performed by your employer or supervisor are examples of behavior which can serve as the basis for a whistleblower suit.
