People are wrongfully judged, categorized, and treated unequally every day in the United States, rather than being judged on their merits. Discrimination of any kind, including that which is based on a person's sex, age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, and/or religion, is against the law in the State of New Jersey. If you have been the victim of employment discrimination, you should contact a New Jersey discrimination lawyer at Levinson Axelrod.
There are a variety of civil rights laws and agencies throughout the country which protect the rights of people from all forms of discrimination, as well as punish the people who discriminate. Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that it is illegal for an employer to refuse a person employment, segregate, classify, deny membership or opportunity, or discriminate due to a persons religion, sex, color, national origin, or race.
The following are some examples of discrimination that may occur in the workplace:
- Discriminatory comments, slurs, and/or jokes
