In general, 21% of workers who report misconduct suffer from retribution (source: National Business Ethics Survey).

An estimated 75% of workplace harassment victims experience retaliation when they speak up (source: US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission government agency).

That 75% number is not from the EEOC study. It is something the EEOC study cited. The original is from:

Lilia M. Cortina & Vicki J. Magley, Raising Voice, Risking Retaliation: Events Following Interpersonal Mistreatment in the Workplace, 8:4 J. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PSYCHOL. 247, 255 (2003).

I can't make sense of these numbers. Can you report misconduct without speaking up? Or is there a lot of retaliation that doesn't induce any suffering, or...?

"speaking up" means "not staying silent about harassment."
