Some workplace law questions need a little unpacking… and others have a surprisingly short answer. 👀⚖️

In this round of Ask an Attorney, Alexis breaks down what actually separates a “toxic” or mean boss from a legally hostile work environment—and whether Tennessee employers are required to provide paid sick leave, bereavement leave, or vacation days.

It’s a pretty good time to have a job — and a really bad time to be looking for one.

At 4.1%, the official unemployment rate is lower than its historical average of more than 5%, signaling a seemingly steady labor market.

Beneath the surface, however, are signs that it has lost some of its dynamism.

It’s reflected in current measures of long-term unemployment. The share of workers who’ve been out of a job for 27 weeks or longer now stands at 27%, the highest since 2015 outside of the Covid-19 pandemic. The median spell of unemployment lasts about 11 weeks, and the average is more than six months, suggesting rising levels of long periods of joblessness.

Get to know Abbey! 👋⚖️

Abbey graduated cm laude from the University of Tennessee Winston College of Law in May 2026, with a concentration in Advocacy and Dispute Resolution.

Her time in law school was heavily focused on advocacy—from competing in moot court and serving on the Moot Court Executive Board to completing externships with the Tennessee Court of Appeals and Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee. She was also awarded the Jerry Summers Advocacy Scholarship, nominated to the National Order of Barristers, and earned the highest grades in her class in Constitutional Law and Election Law.

At the heart of Abbey’s work are two commitments: protecting workers’ rights and defending constitutional guarantees of individual liberty, equality, and meaningful democratic participation. She believes lasting change starts with people understanding and exercising their rights, both individually and collectively.

Outside of the legal world, Abbey is a devoted cat mom, movie enthusiast, and aspiring gardener. 🐈🎬🌱

We’re excited to have Abbey back at Tahinci Law Firm, and we can’t wait for you to get to know her!

*Abbey is not yet licensed to practice law.

You reported the problem to HR. Now what? 👀⚖️

Making the complaint may be only the beginning. What happens afterward can matter, too.

Keep copies of relevant communications. Document important dates and conversations. Pay attention to changes in your schedule, responsibilities, discipline, performance reviews, or treatment at work.

A negative change after a complaint doesn’t automatically mean unlawful retaliation—but the timeline and circumstances can be important.

And as always: keep the receipts. 🧾

Employment Law Update: A recent Sixth Circuit decision is worth knowing about—especially for unionized workers.

On September 3, the court addressed an employee who invoked what he believed was a right under his union’s collective bargaining agreement.

Here’s the important part: **he was mistaken about what the agreement actually required.** But that did not automatically strip his actions of federal protection.

Under what’s known as the **Interboro doctrine**, an individual employee’s honest and reasonable assertion of a right grounded in a collective bargaining agreement can qualify as protected concerted activity—even if the employee ultimately turns out to be wrong about the contract.

The takeaway? When it comes to workplace rights, being mistaken and being unprotected are not necessarily the same thing.

Questions about retaliation or protected activity at work? Call (423) 406-1151 or visit TahinciLaw.com to schedule a consultation.
