How To Deal With Discrimination in the
Workplace?

Workplace discrimination is happening every day.
Discrimination and harassment take many different
forms, and can be based on

• Religion

• Race

• Gender

• Colour

• Sex

• National origin

• Political views

• Disability

• Age

• Pregnancy

There are many state and local laws that protect
employees from being discriminated against.
However, most people are not aware of their legal
rights, and once they become victims of
discrimination, they are caught in an infinite
loop, oppressed by the fear of losing their jobs.

Did you know that almost 70 percent of all
discriminated employees never file a complaint?
If you believe that you are being discriminated
against, do not be one of those people who accept
it. Instead, find a way to deal with it. For
starters, call Los Angeles discrimination
attorneys and let them help evaluate your
situation and provide you with the right
information about your legal rights.
Listed below are some ways you can deal with
discrimination in the workplace.

Let Your Employer Know Of It
As soon as you realize that you are being
discriminated in the workplace on a daily basis,
you should speak with your employer (or your
superiors). You have to let them know about your
problems and the things that you are dealing
with. If anyone can help you with that, it is
your employer. But what happens if your employer
is the one discriminating against you?

If that is the case, you should do one of the
following

• Contact the HR department with a complaint
• Contact an attorney
• Contact the Equal Employment Opportunity
  Commission (EEOC) and file a discrimination
  charge
• If you are being discriminated against by your
  coworkers, and you tried to contact your employer
  and ask for help, but you never heard back from
  your employer concerning the matter, you may have
  a discrimination charge in hand. Consult with
  discrimination lawyers in Los Angeles and ask for
  their help in filing a claim against your
  employer. Call them today and schedule a free
  initial consultation.

• You are going to need evidence to prove that you
  were indeed discriminated and that you received
  no help or protection from your employer. Start
  by taking notes of everything that is happening,
  including
• Comments about you
• Discriminative jokes
• Correspondence emails between you and your
  superiors
• Record dates and times of every harassment and
  discrimination (include location, names of the
  people involved and names of any witnesses
  present, as well as details about the improper
  conduct)
• Keep everything that you received and that you
  believe was discriminatory (objects, notes,
  pictures)

Keep Notes

Once you have enough evidence to support your
claim, you should sit down with your attorney and
review your companys anti-discriminatory policy.
After that, you should review both the state and
federal laws, and see what you can do about the
discriminatory behavior of your colleagues or
your superiors.
In most cases, you will be able to file a charge
against discrimination with the EEOC or file a
lawsuit against your employer. You will obtain
full legal protection, the option of mediation,
and if your lawsuit is successful a substantial
compensation. Act today and do not let anyone
else discriminate you, for whatever reasons.
