HISPANIC WORKERS WIN DISCRIMINATION AND RETALIATION LAWSUIT

When a cell phone company was found to have engaged in a practice of race and/or national origin discrimination zagainst a class of Hispanic workers, the workers received nearly $500,000 in damages. Hispanic workers in CA cannot be discriminated against because of their race or nationality. The court found that the company was discriminating against the Hispanic employees by paying them less for doing the same job as Asian employees. Then, when the Hispanic employees discovered the unequal pay and signed a petition asking for the same pay, the company retaliated by firing those employees who the believed complained about the unlawful pay disparity.

It is against California and federal law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your race, religion, nationality, age, sexual orientation, or gender. Additionally, if you notice and report unfair practices, such as discrimination, in your place of work, your employer cannot retaliate against you for reporting the illegal behavior.

NON-MORMON EMPLOYEES WIN LARGEST RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT

In California, and across the US, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of his or her religion. When employees at the University of Phoenix discovered that they were victims of religious discrimination and that raises, promotions, etc… were being given to Mormon employees over non-Mormon employees, they got together and filed a lawsuit. The settlement they won is expected to be the largest ever for a religious discrimination case.

Religious discrimination can take many forms. For instance, if your employer does not reasonably accommodate your religious dress code or other practices you might be a victim of discrimination based on religion. Additionally, if you were not hired or fired or not promoted because of your religion, you need to talk to an experienced employment lawyer. We might be able to assist you in collecting damages.

BLIND EMPLOYEES IN CALIFORNIA DESERVE REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS

A person who is blind lacks visual perception. In California, your blindness is no reason for your employer to discriminate against you. As a CA employee, if you suffer from a recognized disability, it is against federal and CA state law for your employer to discriminate against you. In fact, he must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your blindness and allow you time off for medical appointments. You might even be able to bring in your Seeing Eye dog.

In CA, in order for you to state a cause of action for disability discrimination you must be disabled, regarded as disabled, or have a record of being disabled. Additionally, you must show that:

  • Your disability results in physical limitations
  • You still perform the essential functions of the job (with or without reasonable accommodations)
  • Your employer took an adverse action, such as not hiring, or firing you, on the basis of your disability

DEAF WORKERS MUST BE PROVIDED WITH REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THEIR DISABILITY

California employees who work for the state or local government and in the private sector must be reasonably accommodated by their employer for their disability. Take the case of a deaf FedEx worker. FedEx claim that since it had a compliance policy and an internal grievance policy for handling employee complaints, it had acted in good faith to make reasonable accommodations for the death man. The US Supreme Court disagreed. An experienced employment attorney can let you know if your employer is not reasonably accommodating your needs.

Additionally, in CA your employer cannot discriminate against you because you have a recognized medical disability. Discriminatory actions include demoting you, not promoting you, firing you, or not providing you with benefits available to the rest of your co-workers. So, along with providing you reasonable accommodations for your disability, and these accusations vary according to your disability, Federal and CA law protect you from workplace disability discrimination.

OBESITY DISCRIMINATION SUITS BY EMPLOYEES ARE AT WORK ARE ON THE RISE

In California, it is against the law for your employer to treat you unfairly because you are obese. Unfortunately for extremely over-weight employees, studies have shown weight bias by employers at every stage of employment, from hiring to salaries to firing. If you believe you are being discriminated against because you are obese, call an experienced employment attorney.

Currently, obesity is not protected against discrimination under the Civil Rights Act as a protected category (like racial, religious, age, or gender discrimination). However, the ADA covers individuals with recognized medical disabilities. A clinically obese employee might be considered to have a disability and your employer cannot discriminate against you if you suffer from a disability.

If you are an obese CA employee who believes you are or have been the victim of weight bias at your job, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our skilled legal team might be able to assist you in protecting your rights. Call the Law Offices of Law Offices of David H.

GAY, AFRICAN AMERICAN AND JEWISH EMPLOYEES OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SUE FOR DISCRIMINATION

In California, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your race, age, religion, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or gender. Jewish, African American and gay members of a police department sued the department because they claim they are the victims of discrimination and harassment. The employees allege not being promoted because of their race and that their supervisors made inappropriate race-based comments to them. Additionally, the Jewish employee claims that there were several swastikas placed around the office and no one did anything to reprimand the individual who put them up.
