Possible wage theft and retaliation

This is something my partner is experiencing. Her boss's boss recently pulled her in to a meeting and “causally” mentioned a protected status (medical condition) declaring that they where aware of it. This condition is not something my partner has publicly disclosed beyond HR. My partner has had a really rocky relationship with this mid level manager for the past 6 months or so.

She has submitted a complaint to the labor board. This entire situation just blows my mind.
