Title VII prohibits employment discrimination and also protects employees who complain of discrimination from employer-initiated retaliation. Earlier this summer, the Supreme Court significantly expanded Title VII's retaliation protection. All employees, including those engaged in supplying IT services, should realize that this decision increases their exposure to Title VII retaliation claims.
