Pasadena Gender Discrimination Attorney

We know that discrimination of all kinds permeates the workforce. One of the most prevalent kinds if discrimination is sex-based, or gender, discrimination. Over the last few years, the #MeToo movement has greatly helped to increase the public’s awareness of such discrimination and inspired many women to come forward about what they have experienced, particularly when it comes to sexual abuse and harassment.

However, gender discrimination shows up in other ways as well, including the following:

• Unequal Pay – We know that women in this country still only make $0.80 on the dollar compared to their male coworkers, even when they have the same job, same title, and similar responsibilities. This is even more prevalent when it comes to black and Hispanic women. Respectively, their earnings compared to men are 62.5 percent and 54.4 percent less.
• Promotions – The term “glass ceiling” refers to a certain level that women can rise to within an organization. Women are often left watching as their male coworkers are selected for promotions.
• Positions – Even in our “modern” workforce, women are often hired for positions that seem like “women’s jobs,” and they get left out of jobs traditionally held by men.
• Termination – When women voice concerns about this discrimination, they are often retaliated against by their employers.
