No. 132(a) of the California Labor Code clearly states that it is against the law for any employer to discharge, threaten to discharge, or in any manner discriminate against any employee because the employee filed a workers compensation claim. If you believe your employer has discriminated against you in violation of Labor Code 132(a), please immediately notify our office in writing of the situation.
