(b) No employer shall directly or indirectly discharge, discipline, or in any manner discriminate against any employee for the reason or reasons that such person has exercised any right, made any claim or filed any suit pursuant to this chapter or has instituted, or caused to be instituted, any proceedings under this chapter, or has testified, or is about to testify in any proceedings in his or her own behalf or on the behalf of others; nor shall any remuneration, position, seniority or other benefits be lost or denied to any such employee who has exercised any right provided by this chapter.
(c) If any employee or designated representative believes that a violation of this chapter exists or that the employee’s protections, as set forth in Sections 393.07, 393.08, and 393.09, have not been provided, then the employee or designated representative may request an inspection by giving written notice to the Fire Division of such violation. Upon the request of the person giving such notice, his or her identity or that of employees referred to in the notice shall be confidential information and shall not be unnecessarily revealed or published by the Fire Division.
