UNIFORMED SERVICES EMPLOYMENT AND RE-EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT- CALL LA LAWYERS

The Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act, or USERRA, was enacted to protect your rights as a CA employee. Designed to assist military servicemen and women who are returning to civilian life, the Act requires employers to provide workers returning from service a salary, status and seniority similar to what they had before leaving. Individuals covered include persons who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, Reserves, National Guard or other ‘uniformed services.’

For example, if before leaving for military duty, you were a commission-based employee in CA, when you return to your job after service you must be compensated on the basis of what you were earning when you left. Even if this requires your employer initially pay you a salary instead of commissions. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer to learn more about this Act.

If you are a CA employee returning from military service USERRA might apply to you. Please call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Law Offices of David H. Greenberg for more information. 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.

VETERANS RETURNING HOME TO CALIFORNIA ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND A JOB

The economic recession seems to be hitting Iraq and Afghanistan veterans harder than other workers. Currently, one in nine veterans are now out of work. This sobering statistic has many people feeling that some troops are feeling forced to remain in the service. If you are a CA serviceman or woman, make sure that you remember there are many laws protecting your rights in the workforce.

The jobless rate for veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and who are 18 and older rose 4 percentage points in the past year to 11.2%. This number is notably higher than the corresponding 8.8% rate for non-veterans in the same age group. While some soldiers have made the choice to re-enlist specifically because of the poor civilian job market, many CA veterans do not have that option, for a variety of reasons.

If you are a CA veteran who believes your rights are not being protected, call the legal team of Law Offices of David H. Greenberg at 1-888-204-1014.

LATINOS, BLACKS LOSING THEIR JOBS AT A HIGHER RATE IN CALIFORNIA- LOS ANGELES EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS CAN HELP

Many black and Latino employees are losing their jobs. In fact, the unemployment rate for these groups has risen substantially over the last few years. According to a study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since the economic downturn began in December 2007, Latino unemployment has risen 4.7 points, to 10.9%, black unemployment has risen 4.5 points, to 13.4%, and white unemployment has risen 2.9 points, to 7.3%.

While some of this is due to a concentration of Latinos and blacks in construction, blue-collar, or service-industry jobs that have been hurt by the recession, it is important to make sure you are not being discriminated against because of your race or national origin. As a California employee, you are protected against an employer who discriminates against you because of the color of your skin or your nationality.
