Hailey files a discrimination charge against her company as it pays less wages to African American employees. The company demotes Hailey and reduces her salary because of the discrimination charges filed by her. This case is an example of ________.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": retaliation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whistleblowers are individuals who report illegal or unethical practices of the firms they work for that does not necessarily affect the workers personally. Unfortunately, the companies tend to retaliate against those employees for exposing them through pay cuts or even termination of contracts.

Though, whistleblowers are covered by the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 which promotes employees to disclose firms' incorrect activities without fear.

Answer 2

retaliation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Title VII of hte Civil rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination at work based on race, color, ethnic origin, gender, religion, etc. What the company was doing was wrong, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) should deal with this issue. But what they did to Hailey for complaining about the company's wrong deeds is twice as bad. The company not only keeps discriminating African American employees but also retaliates against Hailey for demanding something that is correct and legal.
