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 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.

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 Law Offices of David H. Greenberg. Our skilled legal team can help you. Call the Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014 NOW for a free consultation regarding your legal rights or visit us at our website at www.discriminationattorney.com for more information on medical disabilities.

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. These seizures are often symptoms of abnormal or excessive neuronal activity in the brain. If you suffer from epilepsy, you are not alone: about 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy at any one time. If your epilepsy is affecting your work, it might be a medical condition that your employer needs to recognize.

Unfortunately, over 30% of people with epilepsy do not have seizure control even with the best available medications and require alternative treatments. If you are a CA employee who suffers from epilepsy, make sure your rights are protected. If your medical condition is a recognized disability, your employer will need to provide you with reasonable accommodations at work.

FORMER WAL-MART PHARMACIST SUES FOR GENDER DISCRIMINATION

In California, women and men in the workplace must be treated as equals. This means that if you, a woman, are qualified for a raise or promotion and are denied that raise or promotion just because you are a female, you might be the victim of gender discrimination. 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. Such behavior by the employer is against the law in CA. Additionally, an employer cannot fire an employee for reporting unlawful behavior in the workplace.
