Was Fired For Asking To Be Compensated Correctly.

(F26) Bartender from northern Pennsylvania, a few weeks ago I had reached out to my boss about missing time from my time sheet; e.i money I worked for missing from my pay check -this has been going on consistently since I started-. Instead of fixing anything then I was told that wanting to be paid for my exact hours, would force him to introduce a new clocking in and out system that would affect everyone, and not just myself. I responded to him, stating that I loved my job and everyone there but I could not continue to work unless I was being paid for the full amount of work that I did; as I would have more than just an hour, or so missing from my paycheck weekly. He quickly responded telling me to turn my key in, firing me. Since then I have reached out to the common wealth, opened a case for the money that was missing from my weekly paychecks, and won that case. Now, Pa is a fire at will state, however, firing someone in retaliation is illegal -I do have screen shots of the entire conversation-. So I can’t help but sit here curious as to what I should do, should I take it one step further into a retaliation case, would it even be worth it?
