Description: Allentown, Pennsylvania civil rights lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on an employment discrimination theory.

"Employment discrimination law is the body of law that protects employees from discrimination on the basis of certain protected characteristics. These protected characteristics include race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, and genetic information.

Employment discrimination law prohibits discrimination in all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotions, pay, and benefits. It also prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who complain about discrimination or who participate in an investigation of discrimination.

There are several federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination. The most important of these laws is the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

In addition to federal laws, many states also have laws that prohibit employment discrimination. These state laws may provide even broader protections than federal laws.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against at work, you should contact an attorney or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to discuss your options. The EEOC is a federal agency that enforces employment discrimination laws.

Here are some examples of employment discrimination:

An employer refusing to hire a qualified applicant because of their race
An employer firing an employee because of their religious beliefs
An employer promoting a less qualified male employee over a more qualified female employee
An employer paying a female employee less than a male employee for doing the same job
An employer retaliating against an employee who complains about discrimination

If you believe that you have been discriminated against at work, it is important to take action. You should document all of the evidence of discrimination, and you should contact an attorney or the EEOC to discuss your options."
