Full conversation
I work for a school district in Oakland, at the school my daughter attends. I've been dealing with a hostile work environment for three years, and now my daughter is being excluded from school programs because the person in charge does not like me. Do I have grounds for a lawsuit?
I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're facing at work and how it's affecting your daughter. Have you documented any specific incidents of the hostile work environment or exclusion from school programs?
I have. I filed a complaint, and I am still waiting for the principal's response.
Have you reported these issues to your supervisor or human resources within the school district?
Yes, I have, repeatedly, to the principal.
Is there anything else the Employment Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your hostile work environment.
No.
Hey there! Welcome to our service. I'm an attorney with many years of experience. Just so you are aware, our service is a legal information-only site. No attorney-client relationship is formed from our conversation. I understand you've been dealing with a hostile work environment, and now your daughter is being excluded from school programs.
I am very sorry this happened, especially since it involves your daughter.
Yes. If retaliatory behavior that is based on an illegal motive can be shown, the employee would have a potential claim for retaliation. In California, an employer may not retaliate against an employee for opposing or complaining about workplace harassment or discrimination under Government Code section 12940(h). An employer also may not retaliate against an employee for reporting suspected violations of law to a supervisor or government agency under Labor Code section 1102.5.
