Title VII's Anti-Retaliation Provision Prohibits Any Employer Conduct That Might Dissuade a Reasonable Worker from Making or Supporting a Charge of Discrimination: Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. White

Authors

Michael A. Metcalfe

Abstract

The United States Supreme Court held that Title VII's anti-retaliation provision is not limited to workplace-related conduct that affects the terms and conditions of employment, but rather prohibits any employer conduct constituting a materially adverse action - i.e., one that well might dissuade a reasonable worker from making or supporting a charge of discrimination.
