A.R.S. § 41-1464: Employment Retaliation Ban
Other unlawful employment practices; opposition to unlawful practices; filing of charges; participation in proceedings; notices and advertisements for employment
Can an Arizona employer retaliate against someone for opposing discrimination?
In Arizona, employers, employment agencies, training committees, and labor unions may not retaliate against someone for opposing an unlawful employment practice or for filing a charge, testifying, or helping in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing. They also may not publish job or membership notices or ads that show a preference or limit based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, though religion, sex, or national origin may be mentioned when it is a bona fide occupational qualification. Ads that show an age preference or limit are likewise unlawful unless age is a bona fide occupational qualification.
