What You Should Know About Workplace Discrimination

Workplace discrimination is an issue that affects countless employees across the country, yet many remain unaware of their legal rights. Federal laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), protect workers from being treated unfairly based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, or other protected characteristics. Understanding these laws is essential for recognizing when your rights have been violated. If you’ve experienced discrimination, it’s important to document the incidents, report them to your HR department, and consider consulting an employment attorney. Knowing your rights is the first step toward ensuring a fair and equitable workplace for all.
