Unfair Treatment in the Workplace
California Discrimination Attorneys - Los Angeles & Orange County Offices
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 Discrimination?
It is often difficult to know if you have been the victim of race or age discrimination. Generally, though, you can ask yourself two 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 race or my ethnicity is one of the reasons why I was treated worse?
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 race or ethnicity in reductions in force and other downsizing efforts.
Unfair Treatment within Ethnic Groups
We have handled ethnic discrimination cases even where a supervisor is the same race or ethnicity of the injured worker. We are finding that discrimination may exist even when the supervisor is from a different region of the same country as the injured worker.
