Federal employment law under the Civil Rights Act protects employees who file complaints about their employer. Employers cannot harass, fire or otherwise retaliate against an employee who has filed a discrimination or whistleblower complaint against the employer. If such retaliation is discovered, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can file a lawsuit against the employer on behalf of the employee in question.
