Sec 501 - Retaliation and Coercion Prohibited

Section 501 of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits any employer, labor organization, or employment agency from retaliating against a person who files a discrimination complaint, participates in an investigation, or opposes discriminatory practices, and bars coercion to force such individuals to abandon or settle their claims. This safeguards the rights of people with disabilities to pursue legal remedies without fear of reprisal.
