NAME DISCRIMINATION: DOES IT EXIST IN THE CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE?
In California, it is against the law for your employer to discriminate against you because of your race, gender, age, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation. A more subtle form of racial discrimination or gender discrimination can occur because of an employee's, or potential employee's, name. When you, the CA employee, submit your resume, often all the hiring manager sees is your name and whatever else you include on your resume.
California and federal law prohibit your employer from not hiring you, demoting you, or not promoting you because of your race, gender, nationality, religion, or age. If you believe you were not hired or that you were fired because your employer discriminated against you because of your name, call an experienced employment attorney. Name discrimination is just one way employers can mistreat employees, do not let your employer discriminate against you.
