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 Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO). Our skilled employment attorneys will provide you with a free consultation regarding your legal rights.

AFRICAN–AMERICAN WOMAN WINS RACE DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT AGAINST DEPARTMENT STORE. LA EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY IS HERE FOR YOU.

California employees are protected by federal and state laws which prohibit employers from discriminating against them on the basis of race. This means that your employer cannot fire you, demote you, not provide you with certain benefits, or not promote you because of the color of your skin. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you have been racially discriminated against at your work.

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.

Sexual%20Harrassment.jpg If you are a CA employee who is the victim of sexual harassment arising from your job, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.

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

EMPLOYEES SUFFERING FROM GLAUCOMA PROTECTED BY DISABILITY LAWS IN CALIFORNIA

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve, resulting in vision loss and blindness. Many CA employees suffer from glaucoma, and some might not even realize it. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises. However, with early treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss. If your glaucoma is a recognized medical disability, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you.

While some people are at higher risk than others, anyone can suffer from glaucoma. The higher risk groups include:

  • African Americans over age 40
  • Everyone over age 60, especially Mexican Americans
  • People with a family history of glaucoma

If you are a CA employee suffering from glaucoma 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 Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

MAN FIRED FOR HIS BEARD AT UPS IS VICTIM OF RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION

In California, the law protects the religious beliefs of employees. This means, if your religious practice requires that you do not shave your 1 inch beard, as did the beliefs of a Rastafarian UPS employee, your employer must accommodate your reasonable religious practices. The Rastafarian was denied a job because of his beard and was awarded $10,000 because the court determined he was the victim of religious discrimination at the hands of UPS.

CA labor law protects employees against many types of discrimination, including religious discrimination. Because your practice a certain religion, or because your religious practice requires that your employer make small exceptions for you in the workplace, you cannot be hired, fired, demoted, or not promoted.

EMPLOYERS CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES IN LOS ANGELES OR CALIFORNIA IF IT’S A MEDICAL DISABILITY

In Los Angeles and throughout California, if you suffer from a medical disability, that alone is not reason for a potential employer not to hire you. When a man suffering from ADHD applied for a job as a car salesman, he was not hired. While an employer has every right to decide who he wants to hire or fire, these decisions have to be lawful. And not hiring the man because the company assumed he had a disability upon learning he was taking prescription medication for ADD is not considered a legal reason in CA.

Many CA employees suffer from mental disabilities, ranging from ADHD to more serious conditions such as Bipolar disorder. All recognized medical disabilities are treated the same in the eyes of CA law and deserve protection. This means that you cannot be fired or not hired just because of your mental disability.

If you are a CA employee who suffers from a mental disability and you believe that you have been discriminated against at work because your condition, or for any other reason, call the experienced employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEE WITH EPILEPSY

Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures and is one of the most common of the serious neurological disorders.

Epilepsy can be controlled, but not cured, with medication.

FORMER WAL-MART PHARMACIST SUES FOR GENDER DISCRIMINATION

In California, women and men in the workplace must be treated as equals.

Women in the CA workplace are also entitled to the same benefits as their male counterparts. Call an experienced employment lawyer if you have been the victim of sex discrimination.

A Wal Mart pharmacist is suing Wal-Mart for one million dollars, alleging that she had been fired from her job after reporting to her supervisor that she noticed she was not being paid as much as her male co-workers for doing the same job.

HAVE YOU BEEN LAID OFF? AND ARE YOU OVER 40? YOU MIGHT BE THE VICTIM OF AGE DISCRIMINATION. LOS ANGELES LAWYERS CAN HELP.

In California, male and female employees over the age of 40 receive special protection against age discrimination. CA labor law prohibits an employer from discriminating against (by firing, demoting, laying off, or not hiring, to name a few examples) an employee over the age of 40. In these tough economic times, it is important to make sure your employer is not discriminating against you because of your age.

WOMAN FOREMAN WINS SEX DISCRIMINATION CASE: DON’T ACCEPT GENDER DISCRIMINATION AT YOUR CA JOB

In California, an employer cannot discriminate against an employee just because of his or her gender. When a female foreman at a railroad company was allegedly passed over for a promotion because she was a woman, she sued her employer. The woman was more qualified and had more experience than the other candidates, but her employer still passed her over for the promotion. This kind of discrimination is against the law in CA. Federal and state law prohibit an employer from not promoting, not hiring, firing, or demoting a man or woman employee just because of his or her gender. If the employee who is discriminated against is just as qualified as the employee who receives the promotion or job, etc. that might be a case for gender discrimination. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer.

WHEN YOUR BOSS LIKES YOUR CO-WORKER MORE THAN HE LIKES YOU: SEXUAL FAVORTISM IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

Bosses who play favorites can put your CA workplace at risk for a hostile work environment. CA employees are protected against working in a hostile environment under CA labor law. When a male supervisor for the California Department of Corrections had multiple consensual sexual affairs with a number of female employees, the outsiders, female correctional officers who did not have a relationship with the supervisor, alleged they were “forced to work in a hostile work environment where women got ahead and were promoted if they performed sexual favors” for the supervisor.

According to the CA Supreme Court, such severe or pervasive sexual favoritism creates an abusive working environment that may be actionable harassment, even if you, the person suing, was not the victim of the sexual conduct. Talk to an experienced employment attorney if this is occurring in your work place.

If you are a CA employee who believes that you work in a hostile environment subject to sexual favortism, call the legal team of Greenberg &Rudman LLP TODAY.

FEMALE EMPLOYEE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF HER CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL AFFILIATION: CALL A LOS ANGELES LAWYER IF YOU’VE FACED DISCRIMINATION

This means that whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, your employer cannot use this against you when deciding whether to hire you, fire you, or promote you. An experienced employment lawyer can help you determine if your political leanings have been used against you by your employer.

When a female employee at a law school was advised to conceal her affiliation with conservative groups if she wanted to get the job and ultimately was not hired because of her conservative views, she took legal action.

WOMAN DENIED JOB BECAUSE OF DRESS SUES FOR HARASSMENT: IF YOU’RE A VICTIM CALL A LOS ANGELES DISCRIMINATION ATTORNEY

A female flight attendant is suing the airline she was employed by for allegedly denying her a work-related flight because she wasn’t dressed provocatively enough. In California, it is unlawful for an employer to sexually harass or discriminate against a man or woman because of their dress. Call an experienced employment lawyer if you believe your employer has harassed you because of the way you dress.

California labor law provides its employee numerous rights, including the ability for an employee to choose how they dress, within reason. Requiring a woman to dress more provocatively and denying her a paid job because her dress is not short enough or she is not wearing enough make-up, as was the case with the flight attendant, is inappropriate and should not be tolerated in the CA workplace.

CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES ABILITY TO SUE FOR RETALIATION IS INCREASED BY THE CA SUPREME COURT

California employees cannot be retaliated against by their employers for reporting unlawful behavior in their workplace. Such reporting by an employee is protected by federal and CA state law. So, what if your employer comes to you and asks you about certain illegal behavior that is occurring in the workplace? Well, according to the Supreme Court this means that under the Civil Rights Act an employee who answers a question about another employee’s improper conduct during an internal sexual harassment investigation is also engaging in “protected activity.”

When an employee was fired allegedly in retaliation for honestly answering a human resources officer’s questions as to whether the woman had witnessed another employee engage in “inappropriate behavior,” she sued. This is good news for all employees, as their legal rights have been validated once again.

If you work in CA and you believe your employer is retaliating against you for any reason, call the experienced employment law team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP today.

PULMONARY EMBOLISMS IN THE CA WORKPLACE CAN BE A MEDICAL DISABILITY

Pulmonary embolism is a condition that occurs when an artery in your lung becomes blocked. Many CA employees suffer from embolisms. Often, the blockage is caused by one or more blood clots that travel to your lungs from another part of your body. While most clots originate in your legs, they can also form in arm veins, and other parts of your body.

The good news is that in most cases, a pulmonary embolism isn't fatal. However, if you have suffered one and it is a medical condition that affects how you perform your work, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your legitimate medical disability.

MAN SUES HOOTERS FOR GENDER DISCRIMINATION

While many of us associate Hooters, the national restaurant chain, with female servers in orange shorts, one man decided he wanted to be a Hooters server. In CA, it is against the law for an employer to not hire a person who is qualified for the job just because of his or her gender. The man says that he applied for a job as a ‘Hooters Girl’ but alleges that Hooters did not hire him just because he is a man. He argues that the serving position should be gender neutral.

California and Federal law protect employees and potential employees from being discriminated against because of their gender. This means your employer cannot fire you, demote you, not promote you, or not hire you because of your gender.
