Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether federal anti-discrimination laws prohibit employer retaliation for employee rights assertions and protect against workplace discrimination based on protected characteristics

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1.) Does the Americans with Disabilities Act/federal law, prohibit and makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate and/or retaliate against an employee for asserting his or her rights regarding pay, promotion, leave, job assignments, transfer requests, grievances, complaints, and administrative investigations such as an EEOC charge? 2.) Does the Equal Pay Act/federal law, prohibit and makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate and/or retaliate against an employee based on gender or sex when it comes to women and men who are in the same workplace and are performing substantially equal content related work, regardless of their job titles? Are all forms of pay covered by this law including benefits, bonuses, and paid vacation? 3.) Does the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 enforce the Americans with Disabilities and Equal Pay Acts, making it unlawful for an employer to discriminate and/or retaliate against an employee based on a protected class such as race, color, religion, gender, sex, national origin, disability, or any other applicable areas? 4.) Does the United States Declaration of Independence declare that all humans are given inalienable rights by their Creator, which governments are created to protect this freedom? Are these the same rights, protections, and freedoms that the United States military have continued to fight for, become wounded over, and with respect and honor lay down their life for?
