Discrimination has no place anywhere, especially at work.

When you turn on the news, you are sure to see a story about discrimination in the US. Despite the progress we have made as a country over the decades, we still deal with these issues. However, workers have significant federal and state protections in place when it comes to their workplace. Workers in California are protected regardless of their:

• Race and color
• Nationality
• Sexual orientation
• Pregnancy status
• Marital status
• Gender identity
• Disability
• Religion or creed
• Age

However, we know that discrimination still happens and that it is not always easy to detect. Yes, sometimes instances of discrimination are overtly obvious, but it usually happens in ways that can let an employer deny they were acting illegally. Discrimination shows up in hiring and firing practices, layoff decisions, disciplinary proceedings, promotion and wage raise decisions, and more.

• The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission brought more than 80,000 charges against employers during the latest reporting year for discriminatory practices.

Sexual harassment is abusive.

The EEOC defines workplace sexual harassment in various ways. Yes, it includes ANY unwanted physical contact, but it also includes verbal and non-verbal behaviors as well. Sexual harassment in the workplace has been highlighted by the “Me Too” movement, and we know there is much work to be done to stamp it out.

• An NPR survey found that 38% of women in the workplace have reported being sexually harassed.
• Nearly all instances of sexual harassment go unreported due to a fear of retaliation from an employer.

We want you to know that it is illegal for an employer to fire someone for reporting instances of discrimination or sexual harassment.
