A: More information is needed here. Why do you believe you are being retaliated against? Why do you think you are being discriminated against? Title VII protects employees from being discriminated against on the basis of their race, religion, sex, etc. and for being retaliated against for engaging in a protected activity. I would recommend reaching out to an employment lawyer in your state for a consultation.
