Conduct that is permitted or encouraged by a statute or constitutional provision, and for which the actor may not legally be retaliated against. • For example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits an employer from retaliating against an employee who opposes a discriminatory employment practice or helps in investigating an allegedly discriminatory employment practice.
