Protecting Your Rights in California Employment Discrimination Cases

Northern California Employee Rights Lawyer Stephan Wattenberg

Chico CA Employment Discrimination Lawyer steve wattenberg Employment discrimination and harassment can take many forms. Sadly, it’s not uncommon in the North Valley area for employees to experience:

  • Disability discrimination: the failure of an employer to make reasonable accommodations for disabled or injured workers. This often leads to wrongful termination (firing) of an injured worker. 
  • Sex (or gender) discrimination 
  • Race discrimination and discrimination because of country of origin (immigrant discrimination)
  • Pregnancy discrimination or failure to provide pregnancy and family medical leave

If you are experiencing discrimination, please contact our law office in Chico to begin protecting your legal rights as an employee.

Other forms of discrimination that are specifically outlawed by federal or California employment laws are:

  • Age discrimination
  • Sexual orientation discrimination
  • Religious discrimination

Are You Being Treated Unfairly?

If you have complained of discriminatory treatment or harassment and your employer hasn’t taken action—or has retaliated against you when you sought help—your rights have been violated.

Employment discrimination, harassment, and retaliation are illegal.

Under federal and California law, workers have a right to be free of discrimination in the workplace, but those rights are only guaranteed if employees make the effort to protect them and enforce them.

We at the Law Office of Stephan R. Wattenberg fight for your right to a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and fear. Contact our Chico, California, employment law office if your rights have been violated because you complained of harassment or discrimination, or if you have been denied reasonable accommodations for your disability.

You DO Have Rights. Attorney Steve Wattenberg will protect them. He represents all types of employees, skilled and semi-skilled, clerical workers, hospital workers, doctors, lumber mill workers, school district employees, and manufacturing workers.

What Are Retaliation and Wrongful Termination?

If you complain about unlawful conditions in your workplace and you seek a legal remedy, your employer cannot retaliate against you or fire you for looking out for your lawful rights. You cannot be demoted, transferred, lose pay, or lose your job for reporting discrimination or harassment to your supervisor or a state or federal agency, or for talking to a lawyer about employment law issues.

Ensure your rights are respected and protected. Contact our Chico, California, employment law office.
