[OH] Can I be fired for reporting safety concerns?

I was recently fired from a job for leaving a negative review of my company on their page. The reason behind the review was because I’ve had multiple meetings — 3 or more — with the owner and the GM of the company about another employee’s safety and driving while I was in the truck with him. I told them very seriously, multiple times, that I did not want to ride with him anymore and that he was a safety risk to my life. He did something so bad that I felt the need to write the review because I felt unsafe at work and unable to talk to my bosses anymore about it. Am I able to sue for wrongful termination or unsafe working environment or anything?

[PA] Was I wrongfully terminated after reporting wage law and compliance violations?

At my company, I reported multiple wage law violations—pay transparency, pay equity, job misclassification, and potential noncompliance with FLSA, ADA, and OSHA—to my supervisor Amanda, the VP of HR (Jason), and the Director of HR (Megan). I also advocated for diversity and inclusion. These efforts were approved and applauded, but I was terminated the day the JD Expert initiative was to be implemented—two weeks after approval—despite strong performance and no negative reviews. The company gave false reasons. I didn’t realize it was retaliation until I asked my former supervisor for an MBA reference and she didn’t provide it.

[MS] Is my employer violating ethics or law by falsely advertising my services?

I am a board certified music therapist in Mississippi (MT-BC) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) working for a telehealth IOP. The company has removed the words “therapist” and “therapy” from our job description and is asking me to sign consent to a job description starkly different than my initial one, as group therapy is no longer in it. They’ve restructured as a lower level of care providing “psychoeducational” only. My title will no longer say therapist and clients will be receiving music therapy services in group, NOT psychoeducational. We will internally operate as an IOP, not a lower level of care.

[MA] My former employer is withholding my commissions until I sign a non-solicitation/non-complete clause. Is this legal?

I’ve resigned from my job, and my employer said my commissions will be held until I sign a departure agreement that includes a non-solicitation/non-compete clause. I live in New Hampshire since December, but I lived in Massachusetts during the rest of my employment from April 2023 to December 2024. Do they legally need to pay my commissions and earned wages if I don’t sign that agreement?

[TX] Was I illegally terminated if the manager asked about my religion?

The hiring manager was let go a few months after I was hired and a salesman was put in the role. The salesman asked me when I started if I was a Christian, among other inappropriate behavior, usually having to do with knowing everyone's business — especially if he thought it was about him.

[MD] Can I sue for wrongful termination if I believe it was race-driven?

There was a previous incident that I was suspended for — for a similar matter. That’s one of the factors behind my belief that it’s race-driven.
