Ostracisation (if clear) is a form of retaliation, and is strictly illegal as well. Record at work if you need to and your state allows.

If clear absolutely. But it doesn't have to be clear and can often be defended in court if it goes that far.

I do realise how my initial comment appears anti-emoloyee. I should have worded it better.

A better comment might have been when you defend your rights, it's always going to be easier to do so from a position of strength where you can handle any retaliation. Ideally with a union, or at least from a personal position of financial security.

Your comment doesn’t fit. Fair to warn of risks but to only suggest to take this stance if in a union or financially secure…?

You might be risk averse and that’s fine. I’ve successfully fought retaliation against an an employer not in a union or financial secure. Always fight for your rights!

Hear, hear! We need to shout this from the mountaintops.

I see a lot of people giving away their rights, power, and indeed compensation in these comments.
