Discrimination refers to unfair or unequal treatment in the workplace based on factors such as age, race, gender, creed, religious beliefs, national origin, or disability. A Michigan discrimination lawyer at the law office of Gafkay & Gardner, PLC can defend your freedoms in the following types of discrimination cases:
- Age. Typically people over 40 may not be wrongfully terminated, denied promotion, or other benefits granted to other workers solely based on age.
- Racism. When a person’s race, such as African American, Asian, or Hispanic becomes a basis for hiring, terminating, denying promotions, or other job benefits, grounds may exist for a lawsuit based on racism or racial discrimination.
- Gender. Men and women may not be denied working advantages based on their gender, such as a firm that only promotes male employees.
- Pregnancy. If, based on pregnancy, childbirth, or a medically related pregnancy condition, a woman cannot temporarily perform her job, she has the right to the same treatment as disabled employees receive through alternative assignments, modified workloads, or disability leave.
- Reverse racism. Reverse racism means granting extra and unequal privileges to employees because of their race and at the expense of other employees.
- Disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against qualified workers based on physical, mental, or emotional handicaps that do not affect workers’ ability to perform satisfactorily.
