On February 27th, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) confirmed that employers are not able to terminate or discipline employees for raising concerns about racism in the workplace.  The NLRB issued a memo relating to a case in California where a physician engaged in group discussions with students and faculty members about racial bias in the medical field.  The physician claims the school retaliated by ending her contract and discharging her.  She went on to file an unfair labor charge with the NLRB.
