Employment Discrimination and Harassment

Protecting You Against Job Discrimination

The right to work, though not mentioned in the Constitution, is about as fundamental a right as most Americans enjoy. Recognizing this, the federal government and state legislatures have enacted laws protecting your rights in the workplace. Specifically, the laws prohibit discrimination in job-related benefits based on such classifications as race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religious creed and, in some instances, sexual orientation. The “job-related benefits” governed by the laws include hiring, firing, promotions, raises, health benefits, vacations, time off and other conditions of employment.

If you have been discriminated against, either on the job or while attempting to get a job, you may have a claim for lost wages or other damages. At the Bononi Law Group, in Los Angeles, California, we represent victims of all types of employment discrimination. Our clients come from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern and Fresno counties.

Preventing Harassment in the Workplace

The lawyers at the Bononi Group represent victims of harassment in the workplace. Though workplace harassment may be based on race, age or disability, most job-related harassment takes the form of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment customarily manifests itself in one of two ways: either as an offer of a work-related benefit in exchange for a sexual favor (your boss offers you a promotion in exchange for sex) or in the creation of a hostile work environment based on the existence of sexual references (your co-workers repeatedly tell sexual jokes, make sexual references, display sexually oriented pictures, cartoons, etc.)

At the Bononi Law Group, we have extensive experience representing victims of workplace harassment. If you have been subjected to harassment, based on sex, race, age, disability or other factor, contact us for a free initial consultation. We represent clients in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern and Fresno counties.
