If get fired directly after contacting the labor board, you have the oh-so-rare, slam dunk, wrongful termination suit. If the employer is that dumb, eat their fucking lunch. (Of our few dumbshit payroll clients, I can only think of one that would try that.)
OR, simply cower, accept whatever they do to you, and come to lemmy to scream about cAPitAlISm.
It’s hard to prove wrongful termination when the employer can terminate for almost any reason or none at all.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that it’s really easy for businesses to get away with exploiting labor, and it’s comparatively hard for individuals to do anything about it.
True! Intent is hella hard to prove. But termination directly following a labor board complaint, without any previous documentation of issues would be a bad spot for the employer. They’re also going to be stepping lightly because they now know you have your shit together and can’t be walked all over. They’d find a way to eventually fire you, but not on the spot.
And then you get fired.
