Civil Rights of Public Employees In addition to protections provided in anti-discrimination and fair labor statutes, public employees can often maintain a civil action against their public employer if the employer has acted in manner that is contrary to the United States Constitution. Such an action can be maintained, for instance, if the public employer retaliated against an employee for exercising his or her right to the freedom of speech or association guaranteed by the First Amendment. Similarly, an action can be maintained if the public employee was denied basic due process rights such as the right to an attorney, the right to a hearing, the right to present evidence and testimony, or the right to appeal. This area of civil rights law is constant flux due to court reinterpretations and legislative changes. Consultation with an attorney who is familiar with the latest developments is crucial. Time limits can be very short; consequently, prompt action is often needed. |
