In California, it is against the law for an employer to not hire, fire, or promote an employee because he or she is over 40 years old. Both California and federal law prohibit discrimination against persons who are older than 40. When a 54 year old woman was denied employment at her local Starbucks, she alleged it was a result of her age and that every one else who was hired was under 30 years old. As a result of the alleged discrimination she sued Starbucks for several hundred thousand dollars.

California employers are not allowed to discriminate against employees because of their age, race, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, or religion. However, discrimination in the CA work place is very common and can occur in many ways. If you are being discriminated against at your job, call an experienced employment lawyer.
