Southern California Discrimination Attorneys
People are wrongfully judged, categorized, and treated
unequally every day in the United States. It is appalling
in this day and age that this kind of illegal and closed-minded
practice is occurring. Discrimination of any kind, including
that which is based on a person's sex, age, gender, race,
disability, sexual orientation, and/or religion is against
the law in the state of California. If you have been discriminated
against, you should contact a California employment discrimination
lawyer at the Law Offices of Terry Davis.
There are a variety of civil rights laws and agencies
throughout the country which protect the rights of people
from all forms of discrimination, as well as punish the
people who discriminate. One such agency is the Department
of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), which is an organization
in California that protects people from discrimination
in regards to employment, housing, and other public accommodations
such as hotels, shopping centers, and public services.
Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
states that it is illegal for an employer to refuse a person
employment, segregate, classify, deny membership or opportunity,
or discriminate due to a person's religion, sex, color,
national origin, or race.
The following are some examples of discrimination that
may occur in the workplace:
- Discriminatory comments, slurs, and/or jokes
- Denial of work because of age (over 40)
- Verbal, physical, or written discrimination (discriminatory
faxes, memos, cartoons, etc.)
- Denial of promotion, pay increase, or job-related benefits
- Discrimination in hiring practices
- Segregation from other employees
- Sexual harassment - using sexual favors or acts as
a basis for employment or advancement in the workplace
If you have been discriminated against in your workplace,
you should contact a job discrimination lawyer immediately.
With the representation of an experienced California employment
discrimination attorney you may be able to recover monetary
compensation, including back pay and emotional distress.
If you or a loved one has been the victim
of employment discrimination, please contact a California
employment discrimination lawyer today at the Law Offices
of Terry Davis.
