STROKES IN THE CA WORKPLACE: LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY

A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain and can cause permanent neurological damage, complications and death. As the leading cause of adult disability in the US, many CA employees suffer strokes both in and outside of their workplace.

If you are a CA employee who has suffered a stroke, that is no reason for your employer to discriminate against you.

This might include allowing you to take time of work for medical appointments or physical therapy.

If you are a CA employee who has suffered a stroke and you believe that because of your recognized medical disability you have been the victim of medical discrimination at your job, call the skilled legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN THE CA WORKPLACE

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States, many of them California employees.

If you are a California employee with CF, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your disease. If you believe you are the victim of workplace discrimination, you must first show that because of your CF you are disabled or regarded as disabled.

CALIFORNIA CARWASH WORKER LAW

The CA Car Wash Worker law went into effect on January 1, 2004. It was created to address the widespread abuse in the carwash industry and designed to provide a solution to an industry beset with labor law violations, minimum wage violations, overtime, rest and meal period violations. Many car wash employees are undocumented and are paid under-the-table. As a result, some employers have paid employees at amounts less than the CA’s minimum wage. The California minimum wage is $8 per hour.

At CA car washes, the majority of violations by the employers against employees include illegal cash pay, child labor violations and failure to provide employees with workers' compensation. There are over 10,000 car wash employees in the Los Angeles area.

HOURLY HOSPITAL WORKERS SUE FOR UNPAID WAGES FOR MISSED LUNCH BREAKS

For many jobs, this means that you are entitled to a meal break after 5 hours of work, as long as your total days work is more than 6 hours.
