Barrett & Farahany Stands Against Retaliation in Fulton County Housing Authority

Recent resignations and allegations, including money mismanagement and sexual harassment claims, have shaken the Fulton County Housing Authority, leading to calls for reform.

The scandal involving Antavius Weems, the Housing Authority Board Chairman, has led to outrage among multiple stakeholders. Sherrika Bellamy, a former housing authority manager, bravely voiced allegations of a hostile work environment and misuse of federal funds. She was soon fired, likely in retaliation because she voiced her concerns.

It’s time to bring accountability and justice to Fulton County. If you or someone you know has endured sexual harassment or worse within Fulton County Housing Authority, please call us to discuss your situation.

Understanding the Importance of Whistleblowers and the Effects of Retaliation

Several laws protect the rights of workers who take the risk of reporting the wrongdoings of their employers. These laws make it illegal to fire, demote, or harass an employee who exposes the shady practices of their employer. This doesn’t mean that businesses won’t partake in this kind of retaliation, rather it means that victims have legal recourse.

Companies that disregard these laws and attempt to punish whistleblowing personnel can face serious legal penalties and be forced to award their victims compensation. These damages can be for the financial, emotional, and professional damage you sustained due to your employer’s retaliation.

Bear in mind that you have only a finite amount of time to file a whistleblower claim. The deadline varies, according to the specific law relevant to the matter, but in some cases, you have as few as 30 days to file after the retaliatory event. Waiting too long can make it impossible for you to get the justice you deserve.
