  • Rohn La Coria, a California man who served as a district manager at Hallmark for nearly 15 years, is taking a stand against his former employer. La Coria was terminated for allegedly using profanity on his day off. However, he asserts that the true reason for his dismissal was retaliation for speaking out against what he believed to be Hallmark’s new practice of paying some employees less than minimum wage. La Coria contends that his manager and other leaders with even greater seniority, such as Hallmark’s Senior Director of Operations and the former CEO of the Retail Division, frequently used profanity with other employees and in work meetings.  “This case involves the critical intersection between wages and whistleblower protections, which should resonate with employees and employers alike.” – Ilya Filmus We look forward to presenting Mr. La Coria’s case, vindicating his rights, and sending a powerful message with widespread implications., Ex-Manager Accuses Hallmark Of Retaliation For Wage Claims, Retail
