EMPLOYER IN TROUBLE FOR DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN EMPLOYEES

Sterling Jewelers is being charged with discriminating against women. Under Federal and California law, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of his or her gender. Additionally, discrimination based on race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, and age is also prohibited.
