California Discrimination Attorneys
Employment discrimination exists when an employee is treated unfairly at work as a result of his or her membership in a protected class. Specifically, federal laws prohibit an employer from harassing employees or taking any "adverse employment action" against them because of their race or ethnicity, color, sex, age (over 40), national origin, religion, disability, or pregnancy.

How Do I Know if I Have Been the Victim of Age Discrimination?
It is often difficult to know if you have been the victim of age discrimination. Generally, though, you can ask yourself the followig questions:
- Was I fired, denied a job, passed over for a promotion, harassed, given lower pay
or benefits, or otherwise treated worse than my co-
workers?? - Do I think my age is one of the reasons why I was treated worse?
- Do I start to see some of my colleagues who have worked as long as me start being forced out of the company
- Does my company start to use words like “new blood,” “new directions,” “too much dead wood”
If you can honestly answer "yes" to some of all of the questions above, then you should have an employment lawyer who is experienced in age discrimination law evaluate your case. Even if you have not been fired, denied a job, passed over for a promotion, harassed or received less compensation or benefits than other employees, you may still have been the victim of a "constructive discharge," where the employer makes working conditions so intolerable that you must quit.
In these difficult economic times, employers may try to use age in reductions in force and other downsizing efforts.
