        "text": "No, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for reporting workplace harassment or for participating in an investigation into harassment. Retaliation includes actions such as firing, demoting, reducing pay, or otherwise negatively altering employment terms. Both federal and California state laws protect employees from retaliation. If you believe you have been retaliated against, it is crucial to speak with an attorney immediately, as you may have additional legal claims.",
