The Labor Code also prohibits employers from exposing workers to hazardous substances, California Labor Code Section 6370.
Workplaces where the employees are subjected to unsafe or unhealthful conditions are not legal. If an employee is discharged or retaliated against for complaining about these types of work environments, they may have a wrongful termination case.
