United States law, and the laws of the various states, prohibit your employer from making any decision in the workplace affecting you on the sole basis of your race, religious beliefs and practices, gender, color, ethnicity, age, health condition, and in some states your marital status and sexual orientation.
Perhaps you have been approached by your supervisor, promising a new promotion or job assignment, in return for sexual favors. It may be that you were passed over for a promotion, or even let go from your job, in favor of a younger person who was described to you as “more with the times.”
Some of you may even have been harassed on the job because of your skin color, your accent, or your reasonable requests to express your religious beliefs.
Discrimination and bias distract hardworking people from their jobs. You become unhappy, nervous, even scared to come to work each day. The cost to employees is enormous but so is the cost to the employer. Your boss loses each time one of his employees is treated illegally by another worker or by a manager. Lost productivity, absenteeism, and sabotage are just some of the consequences of a hostile work environment. Everyone loses when discrimination and bias take place.
Do not allow your feelings of insecurity and the fear of retaliation for your steps to raise a workplace complaint stop you from defending your rights. No one should be intimidated, harassed, threatened, or discriminated against in the workplace. An act of bias against one person is an act against us all.
If you believe you are a victim of discrimination in the workplace contact us immediately for a free consultation to discuss your case. Be aware. Be vigilant. Be strong. You have the power to control your life.
