Report discrimination at work?

Q. Do I have a right to report harassment at work?

A. You have a right to complain about treatment that you believe is illegal job discrimination or harassment. According to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, your employer cannot punish you, treat you differently or harass you if you report job discrimination or help someone else report job discrimination, even if it turns out the conduct was not illegal. The EEOC calls this your right to be protected from retaliation.
