FEMALE APPLICANTS SETTLE A SEX DISCRIMINATION CASE AGAINST ZACKY FARMS IN CALIFORNIA FOR NOT GETTING HIRED BECAUSE THEY WERE WOMEN
Recently over 600 female applicants settled a gender discrimination case against Zacky Farms in Fresno, California. These potential female employees said they were not hired for a certain position at the company because they were women. Not only did Zacky Farms pay the women who were discriminated against $325,000 in damages, but they also agreed to hire over 130 of the women who had brought the discrimination charges. If you have been discriminated against because of your gender, an experienced employment attorney can help you recover.
Both Federal and California law prohibit an employer to discriminate against an employee based on sex or gender. Federally, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in the workplace. Examples of discrimination include hiring, firing, demoting, and/or providing benefits to one group (race, religion, gender) but not another. What it comes down to is that if you have been treated differently because of your sex (male or female) and the different treatment has negatively affected the conditions or terms of your employment, you need to call an experienced employment attorney now.
