Stop Workplace Discrimination Through Strong Legal Means
Discrimination in the workplace is not only unethical, but it’s also illegal. If you face discrimination for any reason in your own workplace, you should stand up to it and call it out.
I can help you confront your employer over discrimination claims. I’m attorney Nicole Barvié of Barvie Law, and I’ll be your ally in these types of employment law cases. As a dedicated discrimination lawyer in San Diego, I’m ready to protect your rights as a worker, regardless of the industry or your background.
Workplace Discrimination And Its Many Forms
Discrimination can take many forms, including:
- Racial discrimination
- Gender discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Discrimination based on sexual orientation
- Discrimination against immigrants or non-English speakers
These unfair practices can occur in any industry, but I’ve seen them particularly prevalent in hospitality, construction and other labor-intensive fields.
Workplace Discrimination Doesn’t Choose Industries
No one industry is truly free from discrimination. Any workplace can show signs of prejudice – some more subtle than others. It’s important to recognize some of these signs.
For instance, in hospitality, discrimination might look like:
- Assigning less desirable shifts based on race or age
- Promoting based on gender stereotypes
In construction, it could appear as:
- Excluding workers from projects due to their national origin
- Harassment based on sexual orientation
Remember, discrimination can be subtle. If something feels wrong, you might want to seek legal advice.
Protecting Immigrant And Spanish-Speaking Workers
As a bilingual attorney, I’m uniquely positioned to serve Spanish-speaking clients and immigrant workers who may face additional discrimination. Your immigration status does not affect your right to a discrimination-free workplace.
Your Rights Under California Law
California has strong antidiscrimination laws. These laws protect you from discrimination based on:
- Race, color and national origin
- Gender, gender identity and sexual orientation
- Age (40 and over)
- Disability
- Religion
- And many other protected characteristics
If you’ve experienced discrimination, you have the right to file a complaint and seek compensation.
