Retaliation Workshop – Business Management Daily Webinar

Posted in Web Conferences

Question: What type of job bias complaint is the most common, the easiest to file and the easiest to win?

Answer: You may be shocked to discover that retaliation is the answer … and the risks are getting steeper every day.

Last year, the EEOC received 36,258 complaints that employers had illegally retaliated against workers for exercising their rights. That amounted to 36.3% of all charges filed with the EEOC—more than age, race or even gender discrimination. Retaliation claims have nearly doubled in the past decade.

On April 21st,  join Dan Kaplan of Foley & Lardner in conjunction with Business Management Daily to learn, "How to Identity and Prevent the Number 1 Legal Complaint."
