Workplace Retaliation Attorney in Philadelphia

Protecting Your Rights After Retaliation

Facing retaliation in the workplace can leave you feeling uncertain about your rights and next steps. At Goodley McCarthy LLC, our practice is rooted in Philadelphia labor law, and we advocate for workers dealing with unlawful treatment tied to union activity, protected concerted action, and other labor-related issues. When employment-law retaliation concerns arise, we handle those matters selectively and with the same level of care.

Retaliation often appears through subtle shifts in workplace conditions—reduced hours, reassigned duties, exclusion from routine communications, or sudden negative evaluations after you assert protected rights. As labor law attorneys in Philadelphia, we help you identify these warning signs early and understand how they intersect with both federal and state labor protections. When you contact our firm, we guide you through each step with the goal of resolving your situation efficiently while protecting your role, your rights, and your peace of mind.

How Our Philadelphia Retaliation Attorneys Address Your Concerns

Retaliation happens when employers punish workers for asserting rights or engaging in protected labor activity. As labor law attorneys based in Philadelphia, we primarily represent union members, organizers, and employees asserting concerted action under the National Labor Relations Act. We also take select employment-law matters that overlap with labor issues, such as wage retaliation or discriminatory discipline tied to protected activity.

• Wage-and-hour backlash after collective complaints or organizing drives.
• Whistleblower and safety complaints arising in union and nonunion settings.
• NLRB representation, unfair labor practice charges, and representation election matters.
• Disputes that implicate both collective bargaining agreements and city/state protections.

You’ll get a confidential review, clear next steps, and a strategy shaped by Philadelphia practice—whether that means filing charges with the NLRB, pursuing grievance arbitration under a CBA, or asserting rights under Pennsylvania and city statutes like the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act and the Philadelphia Fair Practices Ordinance.

Navigating retaliation claims can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to do it alone. Here’s what you can expect as we guide you through your options:

2. Evaluation of your rights: We analyze contractual, statutory, and NLRB-based protections that may apply to your situation.
