National Employment Discrimination Attorneys Are Here to Help

Success and advancement in the workplace are one of the most important aspects of leading a fulfilling life for many Americans. Though many employers tout their companies as equal opportunity workplaces that focus on the merits of each employee, employment discrimination remains a major problem prevalent throughout the United States. The U.S. Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) prohibits employment discrimination based on a person’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disabilities, age, or genetic information. However, even with the laws and protections put in place by the EEOC, some bad actors will still discriminate against employees in the workplace for any number of reasons.

Types of Employment Discrimination in the Workplace

In 2017 alone, the EEOC reported over 80,000 employment discrimination charges filed that resulted in $400 million in compensation for victims. Of those filed charges, they boiled down to approximately 12 types of employment discrimination charges. Employees most often experience discrimination based on:

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender & sexual orientation
  • National origin
  • Race & Color
  • Religion

The Racial & Economic Justice lawyers at MLG are trained to help fight against any form of employment discrimination. Our team stands against these bad actors and advocates for those who have been stunted or mistreated in the workplace by discriminatory policies. When you entrust your case with an MLG lawyer you can rest easy knowing you have a trustworthy ally that can fight for you.

You Deserve Equal Treatment in the Workplace

Employees in a workplace deserve an environment that is free of any hostility, including discrimination and prejudice. By law, employee(s) may not experience discrimination in any aspect of their work environment including hiring, firing, promotions, training, wages, and benefits. Any discrimination in these situations can create a hostile work environment for an employee, who then should file a complaint with the appropriate authorities. Unfortunately, employment discrimination can often be subtle or buried behind company red tape. An employee can experience employment discrimination in the form of overt actions or statements, harassment from coworkers or superiors, and even denial of reasonable accommodations.

How to Spot Employment Discrimination

When you are working for an employer, you have the right to a workplace free of discrimination. While some forms of discrimination are obvious, others can be harder to identify. There is no guaranteed way to spot covert discrimination, but there are signs you can note to help identify employment discrimination in all its forms. Some signs to look out for include:

  • Inappropriate questions during an interview
  • Unequal pay
  • Unfair treatment
  • Belittling
  • Demeaning communications

Employment discrimination can impact anyone in the workforce and can have long-term repercussions. Despite federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination, many employers will continue to discriminate against their employees as long as they don’t get caught. That’s why it’s more important than ever to report employment discrimination and hold these bad actors accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is employment discrimination?

Employment discrimination refers to any unfair treatment of employees or job applicants based on their protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. Discrimination can occur in various aspects of employment such as hiring, firing, promotion, pay, benefits, training, or job assignments.

Several laws prohibit employment discrimination at the federal level, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Equal Pay Act. State and local laws may also provide additional protections. These laws require employers to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and job applicants, and prohibit discriminatory practices such as harassment, retaliation, and adverse employment actions based on protected characteristics.

If you believe you have experienced employment discrimination, you may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a state agency that enforces anti-discrimination laws. You may also consult with an attorney who specializes in employment discrimination cases to explore your legal options. Additionally, you may want to document any discriminatory incidents, seek support from coworkers or employee groups, and report the discrimination to your employer’s human resources department or supervisor.
