Northern California Employee Rights Lawyer Stephan Wattenberg Employment discrimination and harassment can take many forms. Sadly, it’s not uncommon in the North Valley area for employees to experience:

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
