Racial discrimination can occur in many different ways, an experienced employment lawyer can help you determine if you have been the victim of such discrimination.

FEMALE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR FIGHTS BACK AGAINST GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN HER WORKPLACE

Male and female employees in California have equal rights under both CA and federal law. Your employer cannot treat you differently from you co-workers just because you are a man or a woman. Additionally, if your employer or supervisor does treat you differently because of your gender and you complain about the discrimination, you cannot be fired for reporting such behavior.

When a female flight instructor was discriminated against at her work — a flight school — she complained about the illegal behavior to her boss. The woman was one of very few females in a male-dominated job, and such a situation is often a breeding ground for gender discrimination. You do not have to accept illegal behavior.

MALE BARTENDERS SUE FOR GENDER DISCRIMINATION

In California, male and female employees are equally protected under state and federal labor law. This means that your employer cannot favor another employee over you just because of that employee’s gender. While we often assume women employees are the ones being discriminated against at work, many men are also the victims of gender discrimination.

When a group of male bartenders at a local bar noticed that they were being passed over for jobs, shifts, etc… in favor of the female employees, they filed a law suit. The men allege that the women were preferred because of the provocative clothing they were told to wear, which supposedly attracted more business. Whatever the reason, gender discrimination is against the law.

HEMOPHILIA: LEGAL RIGHTS IN THE CA WORKPLACE

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder in which your blood doesn’t clot normally. It affects almost 18,000 people in the US, many of them California employees. If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury. You also may bleed internally and this bleeding can damage your organs or tissues and, sometimes, be fatal. In addition to being inherited, hemophilia also can be acquired, which means that you can develop it during your lifetime.

Hemophilia can be mild, moderate, or severe. Either way, it should not be cause for your CA employer to discriminate against you. If your hemophilia is a recognized medical condition, CA law protects you from your employer taking adverse action against you because of your medical disorder. In fact, he must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your recognized disability.

If you are a CA employee who suffers form hemophilia and you believe that because of your recognized medical disability you have been the victim of medical discrimination at your place of work, call the experienced legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014. Our skilled employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.

PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION IS NOT ALLOWED, EVEN IN HOLLYWOOD. LA ATTORNEYS CAN HELP.

No female employees in any profession or at any job in CA have to suffer pregnancy discrimination by their employer. Pregnancy discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and is against the law. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you believe your employer has discriminated against you, by firing, demoting, or not promoting you, because of your pregnancy. Also, if you have not been hired because your potential employer thought your pregnancy might prevent you from being able to work, you might have a cause of action for discrimination.

When a pregnant woman applied for a job as a casting assistant, the production company allegedly refused to hire her after learning that she was pregnant. The company believed that her pregnancy would prevent her from being able to handle the stress and long hours associated with the job — even though her own doctor had indicated that the job was appropriate. She won $75,000 in damages with the help of her employment lawyers.

CONDUCT THAT OCCURS OUTSIDE YOUR CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE MAY STILL BE CONSIDERED HARASSMENT: CALL LOS ANGELES EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS

In California, it is well-established that employers are not allowed to sexually harass employees while the employees are on the job. This means inappropriate sexual comments, suggestions, or behaviors are illegal in the CA workplace. However, such behavior occurring outside of the workplace by other co-workers or a supervisor might also be considered workplace sexual harassment. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer for more answers to your questions.

Not only does conduct taking place outside of work have a ‘tendency to permeate the workplace’; when harassment occurs outside of work, it most likely arises out of the workplace relationship, creating liability for your employer. CA labor law protects your rights as an employee.

PREGNANT EMPLOYEES IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE: JOB BIAS AGAINST FEMALES WHO JUGGLE TWO JOBS IS NOT OK

In CA, female employees have traditionally had to prove they were treated worse than men in comparable positions to press charges of sex discrimination. Updates in labor law have made it easier for women to prove they have been the victim of discrimination at their job — whether it is gender or pregnancy based. Now, women employees can use their managers biased statements and behavior to show they have been the recipient of unfair treatment. Based on lawsuits cited by the EEOC, here are examples of managers behaving badly:

  • Statements that it isn’t possible to be a good mother and perform a certain job or that women can’t be both good mothers and good workers or that women’s job performance deteriorates after the birth of a child
  • Decisions based on assumptions such as the idea that mothers won’t relocate their families for a promotion
  • Discrimination against fathers in ways such as not providing them with parental leave because they’re breadwinners, not primary parents

Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014 TODAY. Call our experienced employment lawyers NOW for a free consultation regarding your legal rights.
