Federal law prohibits employers from discriminating against an employee or job applicant because of the person’s religion, gender, race, color, age, national origin, disability, pregnancy, military status, genetic information, or sexual orientation. State law provides certain additional protections. It is unlawful under both federal and state law for an employer to retaliate against an employee for opposing employment discrimination in the workplace, filing a discrimination charge, or testifying or participating in an investigation or proceeding regarding discrimination.

If you think that you have experienced discrimination or retaliation in the workplace, contact our office at (504) 603-1500 or (414) 268-6100.
