It is illegal under both Federal and California law to fire, demote, or otherwise retaliate against an employee for starting, joining or supporting a union. However, employers often still retaliate against employees by firing them and citing a different pretextual reason (such as new performance issues) for their termination. If you believe you’ve been retaliated against after participating in union activity, you can contact an employment attorney or file a charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
