Workplace retaliation is rising fast. Kingsley Szamet Employment Lawyers urges employees to know their rights and fight back against unlawful treatment.
Encino, California - July 30, 2025 - As more employees begin to speak up about toxic work environments, retaliation in the workplace is becoming a serious and fast-growing concern. According to recent EEOC data, retaliation now accounts for nearly 60% of all workplace discrimination claims. In response to this troubling trend, Kingsley Szamet Employment Lawyers [https://www.kingsleykingsley.com/], a leading retaliation law firm based in Southern California, is calling attention to the legal rights of employees who are being punished for asserting those rights.

"Employees are reporting their employers more frequently, whether it's about discrimination, harassment, or unsafe conditions," said Eric Kingsley, the firm's partner. "But too many are then fired, demoted, or isolated for speaking up. That's unlawful retaliation, and it's becoming all too common."

Legal Experts Warn: Retaliation Often Follows Rightful Complaints

Workplace retaliation can take many forms, from termination to denial of promotions, pay cuts, or exclusion from projects. These actions often follow an employee's decision to file a complaint or participate in an investigation.

Kingsley Szamet Employment Lawyers has seen a sharp rise in such cases across Los Angeles and beyond. Employees who believe they've experienced retaliation are encouraged to consult with an experienced employment lawyer to better understand their rights and legal options.

"Retaliation is subtle at times," Kingsley added . "It could be something like changing an employee's schedule in a way that disrupts their family life, or suddenly excluding them from meetings they've always attended. If these changes started after a complaint was made, they may be unlawful."

Wrongful Termination and Retaliation Often Go Hand-in-Hand

Many employees who report retaliation also face wrongful termination. That's why working with a skilled wrongful termination attorney can be a critical step in holding employers accountable and securing fair compensation.

Kingsley Szamet's legal team has secured millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for workers who were wrongfully terminated or retaliated against. Their attorneys handle cases on a contingency basis, meaning clients don't pay unless the firm wins the case.

"We believe no one should lose their livelihood for doing the right thing," said Kingsley. "Every employee has the right to speak up without fear of retaliation. Our job is to make sure the law protects that right."
