The civil rights movement of the mid-20
th century called national attention
to the issue of discrimination in the
workplace. Under the law, employees may
not be discriminated against for any
number of reasons, including their gender,
race, age, sexual orientation, or other
factors.
Currently federal laws prohibit discrimination
based on gender and race, and many states
have passed legislation that makes it
illegal for an employer to discriminate
based on sexual orientation. Discriminations
may take the form of harassment or wrongful
termination, causing much pain for victims
and their families.
If you have suffered from discrimination
in the workplace, do not hesitate to
seek justice against your employer. As
a victim, you should be fully aware of
your rights. An experienced attorney
can help guide you on your daunting path
towards justice and reparations.
