WHITE, MEXICAN, AND BLACK OFFICERS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ON THE JOB.

In California, it is against the law for your employer; whether it is the state or local government, or a private business, to discriminate against you. Discrimination occurs when your employer treats you adversely because of your race, religion, nationality, age, or gender. Examples of adverse treatment due to race can include not promoting you, demoting you, firing you, or otherwise mistreating you because of the color of your skin. Talk to an experienced employment attorney if you have been discriminated against because of your race.

A group of police officers in South Gate, CA alleged discrimination at the hands of their supervisors. They were white, black, Latino and all had one thing in common: they allege that they were subjected to racial slurs and false internal affairs investigations, unfairly disciplined, and passed up for promotions all because of their race. These are all examples of workplace discrimination. The city settled with the police officers and they received several million dollars in damages.

SAME SEX HARASSMENT IS ON THE RISE IN CALIFORNIA

We usually think of sexual harassment as taking place between a man and a woman, however studies show that same-sex sexual harassment in the California workplace may be increasing. Same sex harassment, whether it is between two women or two men, often takes the hostile form of humiliating comments and belittling abuse. Sexual harassment is against the law in the CA workplace.

If your boss or another co-worker of the same sex is constantly making sexual jokes, innuendoes, or asking sexual favors from you (especially in return for a raise, promotion, or to avoid getting fired) and you’ve asked him or her to stop, you might be the victim of workplace sexual harassment. When your boss, who is the same gender as you, is flirting with you, it is inappropriate. Do not stand for such illegal behavior.

If you are a male or female employee in CA and you have a same sex sexual harassment claim to bring against your employer, call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg TODAY.

MUSLIMS WIN RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT.

In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your religion. Religious discrimination occurs when your employer discriminates against you because of your religion in hiring, firing, and other terms and conditions of employment. Additionally, you cannot be forced to participate — or not participate — in a religious activity as a condition of your employment.

When Muslim employees at a local beef plant demanded time off to pray in honor of Ramadan, their employer refused to grant them the prayer time. More than 300 workers walked out when they were told that they could not break for the day’s final prayer. Next, they sued their employer for not providing them with reasonable accomodations to practice their religion.

Stand up to your employer. If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your religion that you have been the victim of discrimination at your job, call the hard working legal team of Law Offices of David H.

FEMALE FAST FOOD WORKERS RAPED WHILE AT WORK.

In California, all employees are entitled to work in a safe, harassment-free environment. Whether you are a man or a woman, it is against the law for your employer or one of your co-workers to sexually harass you. Sexual harassment in the CA workplace can take many forms. It can be as seemingly harmless as sexual jokes and innuendos and as terrifying as rape.

When two female employees at a local fast food restaurant were cornered by their supervisor and then sexually assaulted, they reported the rapes to the police. Additionally, they stood up for their legal rights by hiring an experienced employment attorney to represent them in a lawsuit against their employer. Rape is a serious crime and no CA man or woman should have to be victimized by rape.

ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE CA WING OF THE CIVIL AIR PATROL?

If you are a CA member of the California wing of the Civil Air Patrol, your CA employer might owe you additional days of paid leave. A new law creates a right to an unpaid leave of absence for some members who have responded to an emergency operational mission of the CA Wing of the Civil Air Patrol. This law, CA Labor Code sections 1500-1507, protects your rights.

Talk to an experienced employment about the details of this new law. Make sure that your employer is giving you the unpaid leave of absences for which you are entitled. Additionally, if the law requires that you receive such a leave, it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you for taking the leave. This means that firing you, demoting you, or not promoting you because you took the leave given to you under the law is illegal.

CA EMPLOYEES DO NOT HAVE TO PERFORM SEX ACTS TO KEEP THEIR JOBS

In California, sexual harassment is against the law. Conduct that is welcome is not considered sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is unwanted verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is severe or pervasive and affects your working condition or creates a hostile work environment. If your co-worker asks you out on a date one time, that might not be sexual harassment. However, if you tell him no and he keeps asking, talk to an experienced employment attorney because you might be the victim of harassment.

When female guards alleged that they were forced to perform sex acts to keep their jobs, they made some serious claims, including rape. Rape is against the law in the California workplace. The female guards received over $1 million in damages for the harassment they suffered at the hands of their employer. CA employees should not have to perform sexual acts on another co-worker or a supervisor out of fear of losing their jobs.

If you are a male or female employee in CA who has been forced by your employer to perform sex acts, call Law Offices of David H. Greenberg TODAY.

CA EMPLOYEES OF ALL COLOR DESERVE EQUAL PAY FOR DOING THE SAME WORK

In California, and throughout the country, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your skin color, or race. This means you cannot be fired, demoted, not promoted, or not receive less pay for doing the same job as your co-workers. In this tough economy, it is especially important for you to protect your rights and make sure that your employer is paying you what you deserve. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you believe you are being discriminated against at your CA job.

When local contractors hired workers of all races and colors, the workers were happy. However, the employees claim they started to notice a trend of unequal place based on race. The construction workers allege that their employers instated a three-tiered wage rate in which Irish workers were paid $25 an hour, African-Americans about $18 and Latino employees $15. The employees are seeking $4 million in damages for the discrimination they suffered.
