Employee Engaged In "Protected Activity" For Purpose Of FLSA Retaliation Claim
In this
case, the United States District Court held that the
filing of an affidavit by an employee with the National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB), in which he complained of his employer's failure to pay overtime wages,
constituted a "protected activity," for the purpose of the employee's Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) retaliation claim. The affidavit amounted to a formal
complaint about an alleged violation of the FLSA.
