Protect yourself from discrimination and harassment. Fight for your rights.
Under state and federal laws employers may not harass or discriminate against an employee based upon their race, gender, religion, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy status, or disability, or because the employee is over the age of 40.
