An employee willing to sue when the employer steps out of line, seems like exactly the sort of thing that should be protected. Employers should not be allowed to do wrong things. Employers should especially not be allowed to penalize, nor work together to be aware of or penalize, employees that "tend to sue".
- danielweber 13y agoYou could make inquiry about lawsuits illegal. I have heard of companies that explicitly ask if you have ever sued a former employer, which crosses a line for me, because it's sometimes necessary to sue to secure your rights. However, even without deliberately asking, a company could learn, and it's not hard to imagine why an employer would be very wary of hiring someone who has sued a former employer. Being sued is an extremely stressful thing and lots of people go to great, even possibly irrational, lengths to avoid it. Ask how you would feel working for a company that had sued former employees. There are no good answers.
