Discrimination

Discrimination has no place in the work environment. However, workplace discrimination is still unfortunately commonplace. The good news is there are laws in place to help protect workers who have been discriminated against and to hold their employers accountable. If you have been the victim of discrimination at work, you should seek legal guidance from an experienced team of lawyers as soon as possible.

Types of Workplace Discrimination Claims

To bring a successful employment discrimination claim, you must belong to a protected class as defined by state and federal laws. In other words, it is illegal to engage in discrimination based on one’s age, sex, race, country of origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. Workplace discrimination can take many forms, including:

• Being passed over for promotion to positions for which you are qualified.
• Being demoted for nonperformance–based reasons.
• Being subjected to offensive or threatening language or images.
• Being subjected to physical or verbal harassment.

Not every adverse action on the part of employers may constitute discrimination. These cases can be complicated and are often difficult to prove. That is why it is essential that you have committed advocates in your corner who can help you build a strong case.
