Key Takeaways

  • •No one can bully or treat court interpreters unfairly because they join a work group or union.
  • •Interpreters can’t be punished for complaining about work problems or talking about work rules.
  • •Interpreters have rights at work, and bosses can’t take them away just because they speak up.

Example

An interpreter joins a union to ask for better pay. Their boss then gives them fewer work hours.

This is against the law. The boss can’t punish the interpreter for joining a union or asking for better pay.
