Employment DiscriminationEmployment discrimination class actions can occur when an employer engages in a pattern or practice of discrimination against a group of people because of their race, gender, age or some other personal characteristic protected by federal or state law (protected class members). Discrimination shows itself when protected class members hit glass ceilings, receive less pay than other employees, become the subjects of harassing conduct, or experience less favorable treatment than persons outside the protected class. Discrimination can occur in any aspect of a person's employment, including hiring, promotion, pay, work environment, training, discipline and termination.Proving Employment DiscriminationEmployers rarely allow obvious evidence of bias to show throughout the workplace, although we have had cases, for example, where nooses were displayed and offensive cartoons were posted. It is far more common to prove discrimination by showing that the employer treated members of the protected class unfairly compared to other employees. From facts like this, the law allows a jury to infer that discrimination has occurred. You don't have to bring all of the evidence to us. Evidence is collected in a process called "discovery" that occurs after we file a lawsuit. Besides the individual stories of plaintiffs, we prove discrimination through documents, statistical evidence, experts in areas such as stereotyping and human resources, and the testimony of managers and other witnesses.
