The Laws enforced by the Nebraska

made illegal by these laws, or acted
as a witness in any investigation,
proceeding, or hearing conducted
by the Commission. In addition, the
Fair Employment Practice Act
makes it illegal for an employer to
engage in any retaliation because a
person has opposed any illegal
practice or refused to carry out any
action that is illegal under the laws
of the State of Nebraska or the
United States, or inquired about,
discussed, or disclosed information
regarding employee wages,
benefits, or other compensation.
