In the CA workplace, gays and lesbians and immigrants are the two most discriminated against groups according to recent surveys. Studies show that gays and immigrants are the victims of discrimination at 39 percent and 40 percent, respectively. Just because such adverse treatment is common in the California workplace does not mean that you, a gay / lesbian or immigrant CA employee, has to tolerate such illegal behavior.

If your CA employer has used your sexual orientation or immigrant status as a reason to discriminate against you, talk to an experienced employment lawyers. Examples of discrimination include:

• Not hiring you


• Firing you


• Demoting you


• Not promoting you


• Not providing you with equal benefits

If you are like many other California employees who are responsible for taking care of a sick parent or child or other family member, on top of working full or part time, the law is on your side. The EEOC created a set of guidelines known as the ‘Employer Best Practices for Workers with Caregiving Responsibilities.’ While a caregiver alone is not a member of a protected class (such as race, age, nationality, religion, gender), often an employer discriminates against a caregiver by means of a protected class.

This means that your employer might discriminate against you because you are a black woman who is juggling being a single mother with work. Even though your job performance might not be affected by your outside responsibilities, your employer might make assumptions (based on your race, age, gender) that are discriminatory. Hopefully your employer will follow the EEOC’s guidelines and work with you and your outside responsibilities.

While there is no CA law specifically governing the role of caregivers in the CA workplace, this does not mean your rights are not protected. A caregiver is a person who is responsible for the health of another, such as a aging parent or sick child. While caregivers are not a recognized ‘protected class’ under federal or California law, caregivers often are subjected to behavior which does run afoul of existing laws barring discrimination, harassment, or retaliation on the basis of gender, race, disability, or other protected groups.

Therefore, even though there is no specific claim of caregiver discrimination, these other CA labor laws do allow you, the CA employee, to file suit against your employer if he or she is treating you adversely because of your responsibilities outside of work. An experienced employment lawyer can assist you in protecting your rights as a CA employee.

If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your responsibilities as a caregiver you have been the victim of discrimination at your job, call the hard working 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.

As the United States Supreme Court recently acknowledged, white men and women can also be the victims of discrimination. Usually, discrimination seems to occur against blacks, Asians, and Hispanics, but as was the case with the white firemen, employers can adversely treat white men and women as well. Your employer cannot make a race-based employment decision when it discovers that one of its employment tests or policies has the unintended effect of creating an adverse impact on another racial classification.

While it is still permissible for your CA employer to develop tests and selection criteria for promotions and hiring, all races must have a fair opportunity to apply for these raises, etc... If you have a comment regarding the hiring and / or promotion process, talk to your employer and share your concerns. Your CA employer should promote an open workplace, where free discussion is encouraged. Additionally, your employer needs to make sure that all employment tests, policies and practices are job related and consistent with business necessity.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you because you reported the occurance of unlawful behavior, such as discrimination, at your place of work. Ways your employer might retaliate against you include not promoting you, firing you, or demoting you. As a CA employee you have the right to report discrimination to your boss. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you have been retaliated against at work.

When a woman reported to her supervisor at work that she had been discriminated against because of her pregnancy, she thought her employer would protect her rights. However, the woman alleged that as a result of what she lawfully reported, her employer said she would not be in line for a promotion because of making the earlier pregnancy discrimination charge. As a result, she won over $30,000 in damages from her employer.
