CHRISTIAN WOMAN SUES EMPLOYER FOR DISCRIMINATION: CALL A LOS ANGELES LAWYER IF YOU HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST

California and federal labor law prohibits the discrimination of an employee because of their religion. This means that your employer may not treat you more or less favorably because of your religious beliefs or practices – except to the extent a religious accommodation is warranted. In that case, your employer must reasonably accommodate your sincerely held religious practices unless doing so would impose an undue burden on him. A reasonable religious accommodation is an adjustment to your work environment that will allow you to practice your religion.

When a female employee was allegedly taunted at her place of work for being a Christian, creating a hostile work environment for the woman, she sued. In the lawsuit, she has asked for monetary compensation for the ‘humiliation, loss of self-esteem, and loss of civil rights’ she suffered as a result of the discrimination.

If you are a male or female CA employee who believes that you have been the victim of religious discrimination at your CA workplace, you too might be able to recover damages.

SHORT STATURE AFFECTS MANY CA EMPLOYEES: DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LITTLE PEOPLE IS ILLEGALSHORT STATURE AFFECTS MANY CA EMPLOYEES: DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LITTLE PEOPLE IS ILLEGAL

In CA, many employees are of a short stature or are more commonly known as little people. This means that the person is significantly below the average height for a person of the same age and sex — specifically, the shortest 3 – 5% of the population. While there is not an exact definition for short stature or dwarfism, it is a recognized disorder. Children can be born with the disease and shortness in elderly adults is usually the result of height loss caused by collapsed vertebrae from osteoporosis or kyphosis of the spine.

There is no treatment at this time for a person of short stature, but reasonable accommodations can be made at work for a person of short stature to be able to comfortably do their job. If you are a person of short stature make sure your employer knows that you have a recognized medical disability. If you suffer from a medical disability your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your disability.

If you are a CA employee of short stature 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 Law Offices of David H.

SLEEP APNEA AT WORK IN CALIFORNIA: LOS ANGELES LAWYERS CAN HELP

Many CA employees suffer from a common, and often undiagnosed, disorder known as sleep apnea, which is the occurrence of one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. These breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes and often occur 5 to 30 times or more an hour. Typically, normal breathing then starts again, often with a loud snort or choking sound. However, this disorder results in poor sleep quality that makes you tired during the day and is in fact one of the leading causes of excessive daytime sleepiness.

It is important that you treat your sleep apnea. Lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, surgery, and/or breathing devices can successfully treat sleep apnea in many people. Untreated sleep apnea can:

  • Increase the risk for high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes
  • Increase the chance of having work-related or driving accidents
  • Make irregular heartbeats more likely
  • Your employer cannot discriminate against you if you suffer from sleep apnea and it is a recognized medical disability.

If you are a CA employee who suffers from sleep apnea 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 Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Our experienced employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.
