Discrimination or Harassment Problems

Maybe your problem–or that of a friend or relative–has to do with discrimination or harassment. Oftentimes, both can take place in one's employment. Someone can be harassed and discriminated against at work at the same time.

But maybe no one is harassing you directly. It may be that you’re being discriminated against simply because of your race, your religion or your gender. Or perhaps because of your age, or your nationality. Or maybe you’re being discriminated against because you have a medical condition, or a disability.

On the other hand, maybe one or more co-workers, or a supervisor, manager or lead, are harassing you. While harassment charges are most often of a sexual harassment nature, harassment can also arise because of race, religion, age and so on. Normally, the fact that the boss is a jerk now and then doesn't constitute harassment. But if someone is calling you racial names, or sexually derogatory names, or making fun of your religion, your age and so on, such harassment should not be tolerated in the workplace.

Whether it’s discrimination or harassment, conduct based on those reasons is illegal and should be stopped.

Maybe, worst of all, you’ve been fired because of discrimination. Or maybe you reported the harassment and were fired. In either case, we again ask you to contact us."
