Labor and Employment Discrimination

Labor and employment discrimination refers to unfair treatment of individuals in the workplace based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, disability, or religion. This can manifest in hiring practices, promotions, job assignments, or compensation. Discrimination is illegal and goes against the principle of equal opportunity, meaning everyone should have the same chance to succeed regardless of personal attributes. Laws like the Civil Rights Act in the U.S. aim to protect employees from such discrimination, ensuring fair treatment and fostering a diverse, inclusive work environment.
