Hi all!!

I am in Chicago, Illinois and recently reported a coworker for drinking on the job. We’re in an industry where it’s especially dangerous to do so and I know there is/was an investigation. I’m not sure about the outcome but I do know that I have to work with her in the near future. She has been talking about me behind my back but honestly I’m not too worried about that. My worry is that she will purposefully make things harder for me when we work together as a way to get back at me. If that happens, are there protections for me? I know that retaliation is a thing, but I’m unsure if it applies between coworkers.

Thank you all so much in advance!!
