Reprisal
It is illegal to discriminate against a person who has opposed a forbidden practice under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) or has filed a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the MHRA.
It is also illegal to discriminate against an individual who has associated with a person or group of persons who are disabled or who are of a different race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin.
Who is Protected
Individuals who have opposed a practice forbidden under the MHRA, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the MHRA.
The legal standard is whether an individual has a good faith, reasonable belief that she or he was opposing illegal discrimination.
Potential Respondents
