Practice question
After a wage complaint, a contractor disciplines an employee for a distinct serious safety violation. The facts establish a lawful, proportionate process and reason wholly unrelated to the complaint. The employee argues the earlier complaint alone makes every later disciplinary measure retaliatory. What is the sound analysis?
- The protected activity does not conclusively establish that unrelated lawful discipline is retaliation
- Every later management action is prohibited automatically
- A complaint erases every safety duty
- The employer can never prove a separate reason
- Any worker who files a complaint becomes immune from all rules
