IRANIAN MUSLIM MAN SETTLES DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT AGAINST EMPLOYER MERRILL LYNCH

In the CA workplace, racial, religious, nationality, age, sexual orientation, and gender discrimination are against the law. When Merrill Lynch allegedly refused to promote a man and in fact terminated him because of his Iranian national origin and Muslim religion; while instead retaining and promoting a less qualified individual, the Iranian man sued. The court decided that this behavior on the part of Merrill Lynch was clear discrimination and awarded the man over $1.5 million in damages.
