A Contractor shall not discharge, reduce the compensation of, discriminate against, or take any adverse employment action against a worker, including discipline, suspension, transfer or assignment to a lesser position in terms of job classification, job security, or other condition of employment, reduction of hours or denial of additional hours, informing another employer that the person has engaged in activities protected by this Chapter, or reporting or threatening to report the actual or suspected citizenship or immigration status of an employee, former worker or family member to a federal, state or local agency, for making a complaint to the City, participating in any of the City’s proceedings, using any civil remedies to enforce their rights, or otherwise asserting their rights under this Chapter. Within one hundred twenty (120) days of a Contractor being notified of such activity, it shall be unlawful for the Contractor to discharge any workers who engaged in such activity unless the Contractor has clear and convincing evidence of just cause for such discharge.
