A civil action may be instituted against any employer by an employee who has been discharged, demoted, suspended or in any other manner discriminated against in terms or conditions of employment, or threatened with any such retaliation, because such employee has, in good faith, made any oral or written report or complaint related to the enforcement of this title to any company official, public official or union official, or has testified in any proceeding in any way related thereto. In addition to any actual damages which may be awarded, damages shall include costs and attorneys' fees. The court may award punitive damages in a proper case.
