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 Greenberg & Rudman LLP TODAY. Stand up to your employer with the help of experienced employment attorneys. Call us at (1-800-ALAWPRO or 1-800-252-9766) for a free consultation about your legal rights.

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 Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

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.

BULLIED AT YOUR CA JOB? FIGHT BACK!

Is your CA employer or another co-worker bullying you? Are you losing sleep over the hostile workplace behavior? A recent study shows that current or past exposure to workplace bullying is associated with increased sleep disturbances. Additionally, even if you are not the one being bullied, the study indicates that bullying has detrimental effects even when it is experienced indirectly. You have the right to work in a safe, non-hostile environment.

Workplace bullying is a serious issue and is often considered to be one of the leading job stressors. In CA, the law says your employer needs to make sure your work environment is not a hostile one. If you have reported bullying in your CA workplace and your employer has not resolved the issue, talk to an experienced employment attorney. You might be able to bring an employment claim against him.

If you are a male or female employee in CA and you believe you have been bullied at work, call the law offices of Greenberg & Rudman LLP TODAY.

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.

Civil%20Air%20Patrol.jpg If you are a male or female employee in CA who is also a member of the CA Wing of the Civil Air Patrol and your employer is refusing to give you a paid leave of absence in the upcoming year, call the law offices of Greenberg & Rudman LLP TODAY.

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 Greenberg & Rudman LLP TODAY. Stand up to your employer with the help of experienced employment attorneys. Call us at (1-800-ALAWPRO or 1-800-252-9766) for a free consultation about your legal rights.

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.

SEXUALLY EXPLICIT PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL MAY NOT BE ALLOWED IN YOUR CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

In California, it is against the law for your employer to create a sexually hostile work environment. Additionally, if one of your co-workers is harassing you, or otherwise creating a hostile environment, it is up to your employer to take care of the illegal behavior and protect you. Examples of behavior creating a sexually hostile work environment can include inappropriate jokes, sexual gestures and come ons, and porn. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you’ve been sexually harassed at work.

When a female city firefighter in CA started to feel uncomfortable with all the porno magazines she found around the firehouse, she reported her discomfort to her supervisor. Instead of resolving the situation and removing the inappropriate materials, the other firefighters allegedly taunted and shunned her. As a result, she is suing for over $200,000 in damages for the sexual harassment she suffered.

AS WAGES DECREASE THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR JOB

In California, a struggling economy and low inflation are starting to drag down wages for thousands of everyday workers and freeze benefits many more retirees. Across the country, average weekly wages in the private sector have fallen 1.4% this year for private-sector workers through September. While economists state that wages are usually the last thing to deteriorate in a recession, it's happening now. And to make bad news worse, wages are probably going to be held down for a long time.

If your CA employer has cut your wages, make sure he is doing so legally. If you’re employer is making you work overtime and then not paying you, talk to an experienced employment lawyer. If your employer is has decreased your wages without telling you, you might have an employment claim to bring against him. Do not let your CA employer take advantage of you.

HAIR DRESSER FIRED BECAUSE OF HER SEX: NOT ALLOWED IN CALIFORNIA.

As a California employee, your rights are protected by federal and state labor law. Whether you are a man or a woman, you deserve equal treatment. If your CA employer is treating you differently or adversely because of your gender, you should talk to an experienced employment lawyer. Adverse treatment based on your sex is against the law in California.

When a female hairdresser was fired by her supervisor at the beauty salon, she filed a sex discrimination complaint within the appropriate time period. As a result of her action, she was able to file a lawsuit against her employer and eventually win almost $200,000 in damages for the discrimination the court determined that she suffered at the hands of the salon owners. Don’t let your CA employer discriminate against you because of your gender.

AUTISTIC EMPLOYEE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY HIS EMPLOYER.

California law clearly states that your employer cannot discriminate against you because you suffer from a recognized medical disability. Discrimination occurs when your employer fires you, demotes you, does not promote you, or does not promote you with the same benefits given to your co-workers, all because of your medical disability. If you have a medical disability and your employer is treating you adversely, call an experienced employment lawyer.

When an autistic employee at a local clothing store was discriminated against by his supervisors, he took legal action. If you suffer from a medical disability, it is up to your employer to provide you with reasonable accommodations that do not place an undue burden on your employer. The clothing store did not provide the employee with such accommodations and as a result he won over $100,000 in damages.

If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your recognized medical disability that you have been discriminated against at your job, call the hard working legal team of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WIN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN UNPAID WAGES

In California, it is against the law for your employer to not pay you for the hours that you work. This means that if you work 8 hours each day, 5 days a week, you should get paid for the 40 hours of work you perform each year. California and federal law protect your rights as an employee in CA and both state that you must be paid for hours worked, provided overtime or breaks and be compensated for the time you travel between job sites and wait for materials to arrive.

When a group of construction workers for a Southern California builder stood up for their rights, they were pleasantly surprised. They alleged that they were not paid for the hours that they worked and that wage fraud is pervasive in the home-building industry, which relies heavily on immigrant labor. They sued the builder and will receive over $240,000 in damages.

REASONABLE ACCOMODATIONS FOR YOUR MEDICAL DISABILITY REQUIRED IN CALIFORNIA

Are you suffering from a medical disability? The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires a CA employer with 15 or more employees to provide reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, unless it would cause undue hardship. A reasonable accommodation can be a change in the work environment or in the way a job is performed that enables a disabled employee to enjoy equal employment opportunities.

When an Orange County, CA man with cerebral palsy began working at Target, he was excited. However, he soon realized his special needs were not being met and he claims that as a result of the miscommunication, his hours were reduced. He took legal action and is suing Target for damages resulting from medical disability discrimination.

DEFAMATION AND THE CA WORKPLACE

In CA, defamation is against the law. What exactly is defamation? Defamation is injury to your reputation or character resulting from the false statements or actions of another. Defamation is a false attack on your good name, perhaps by your boss or a co-worker. Defamation is an improper and unlawful attack against your reputation. Defend yourself against lies with the help of an experienced employment lawyer.

There are two types of defamation: slander and libel. Libel is usually written or can be depicted in a misleading photo. Slander is an oral statement that tends to injure you in respect to your office, profession, trade or business. Often what is said suggests that you lack integrity, honesty, incompetence, or that you possess other reprehensible personal characteristics. Slander can take the form of someone talking trash about you behind your back or spreading or repeating lies and rumors.

If you are a employee in CA who believes that you have been defamed, either in print or through what someone said about you, call the employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.

IS YOUR CO-WORKER SPREADING LIES ABOUT YOU AT WORK?

Defamation is a serious problem in the California workplace. Defamation occurs when one person makes a false statement about another you, which causes you to suffer physical or emotional harm. The statement must be published, or spoken to someone other than you. Defamation can be written --- libel --- or spoken --- slander. Each is equally as against the law.

Defamation in the CA workplace often occurs when you, the employee, are subjected to the publication of false criticism; perhaps alleging poor performance, dishonesty, etc… and is often used as a means to justify your termination. If you believe your employer or another co-worker is spreading lies about you, you might be able to bring a defamation claim.

MEN AND WOMEN CAN BE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE CA WORKPLACE

While we tend to think of sexual harassment in terms of women, men can also be victims of the illegal behavior. In California, your employer is breaking the law if he is harassing you, whether you are a man or a woman. Sexual harassment can take many forms, including inappropriate jokes, gestures, sexual innuendos, and requests for sexual activity. As an employee in California, you are protected against sexual harassment in your place of work.

When three employees at a local Lowe’s, 2 women and one man, were subjected to widespread and repeated sexual harassment by male and female managers and coworkers at a Lowe’s store, they took legal action. They alleged that the sexually hostile workplace, which endured for more than six months, included physical and verbal abuse which culminated in one instance of sexual assault. The three employees received over $1.7 million in damages for the harassment they suffered.

GOVERNMENT LAY OFFS ON THE RISE IN CALIFORNIA

In past economic downtimes, CA state and government employees have been pretty safe from layoffs. However, times are changing --- and not necessarily for the better. The Labor Department’s recent report on jobs in September showed that 53,000 fewer government workers were at their desks compared with August. This means that many state and government employees are being let go. If you have recently been laid off, make sure it is for legal reasons.

It is against the law in CA for your employer, even if it is the state or county, to fire you because of your race, gender, age, nationality, or religion. If you believe that your termination was a result of discrimination, you need to stand up for your rights. You could win thousands of dollars in court with the help of an experienced employment lawyer.

GENDER DISCRIMINATION IS AGAINST THE LAW IN THE CA WORKPLACE

If your California employer is discriminating against you because of your gender, he is breaking the law. CA and federal law clearly states that your employer is not allowed to use your gender as a reason to treat you adversely. This means that you cannot be fired, demoted, not promoted, or not receive the same benefits as your co-workers just because you are a woman, or a man. If this is happening to you, call an experienced employment attorney.

When a female pharmacist for a local Wal-Mart realized she was not receiving the same pay as her co-workers, even though their duties were the same, she asked her supervisors for a raise. The woman alleges that as a result of asking for what the law states she deserves, she was fired. Gender discrimination is illegal. The woman stood up for her rights and sued Wal mart. She won $2 million in damages.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN CALIFORNIA INCLUDES INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS

In California, it is your employer’s job to make sure that your workplace is free of harassment. Whether it is coming from your employer or another co-worker, sexual harassment of any kind is against the law. Whether you are a man or a woman, you do not have to tolerate sexual harassment. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you work in a hostile environment.

When a female employee at a local Verizon complained about sexually offensive graffiti and materials in her work areas and work trucks, she claims that she was retaliated against for reporting the illegal behavior.

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IS AGAINST THE LAW IN CALIFORNIA

Racial discrimination occurs in many California workplaces, but it does not mean that you need to tolerate this illegal behavior. Adverse treatment of any type --- firing you, demoting you, not promoting you --- because of the color of your skin is against the law. If your employer is discrimination against you because of your race, talk to an experienced employment lawyer.

When city officers received negative marks on their employment evaluations while white employees hired about the same time received positive remarks despite all passing the same exam. Additionally, the officers said they were demoted after they complained of the unequal treatment to their supervisors. As a result, they decided to sue the city. They won over $400,000 in damages for the discrimination they suffered.

YOUR CA EMPLOYER CANNOT FIRE YOU BECAUSE OF AN INJURY YOU RECEIVED ON THE JOB.

In California, federal and state law protects you from discrimination of all types. This means that your employer cannot fire you, not promote you, or demote you because of your race, gender, age, nationality, religion, or medical disability. If you are injured on the job and take workers compensation leave, your job should be waiting for you when you return.

When hundreds of employees at a local Sears took workers compensation for on the job injuries they suffered, soon after, they discovered that they were terminated by Sears without the company seriously considering reasonable accommodations for their disabilities. The law requires that all employers do this for their employees. The employees stood up for their rights and took legal action. They won over $6.2 million in damages.

WHAT KINDS OF QUESTIONS CAN MY EMPLOYER ASK ME ABOUT MY HEALTH?

In California, there are personal questions about your health that your employer can and cannot ask. Often, employers ask questions about your health in the hope that they can identify their workers' health issues early -- and possibly develop a health plan to help in an attempt to lower their insurance costs. While this is a good business move, as a CA employee you need to make sure that your employer is not asking you questions he is not allowed to ask.

Questions such as: Do you smoke? Do you drink? What is your cholesterol levels? Blood pressure? Weight? Are okay. Questions about family history are usually not okay for your employer to ask. It is not legal for your employer to discriminate against you because of your genetic history. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if your employer is asking you inappropriate health questions.

If you are a CA employee who believes that because of your genetic history that 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).

RACE DISCRIMINATION IS ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA

California employers are not allowed to discriminate against you, a California employee, because of your race. Federal and CA law prohibit your employer from treating you adversely because of the color of your skin. This means that if you are fired, not promoted, demoted, or not provided the same benefits as your co-workers because of your race, you need to contact an experienced employment attorney.

When a packing company failed to give a black employee the pay raise and health insurance coverage provided to his white co-workers, he filed a charge of race discrimination. As a result of reporting the unlawful behavior, he claims that he was fired, which would be considered retaliation on the part of the employer. Retaliation is also against the law in CA.
