It is illegal for an employer to fire someone for bringing a claim or speaking out about discrimination. This action is called retaliation and it is illegal. Nebraska law protects anyone who attempts to enforce anti-discrimination laws. An employer is breaking the law if you are fired, harassed, or treated differently for bringing an action. Retaliation is illegal even if a claim turns out to lack reasonable cause.
