Los Angeles Religious Discrimination Lawyer
he idea that all people have the freedom to follow their individual belief systems is ingrained in the very foundation of this country. Yet, religious discrimination runs as rampant as other forms of bigotry and hatred, requiring aggressive defense from every angle. We strongly believe that religion should not represent another avenue for employers to discriminate against employees for their chosen beliefs.
As such, protecting yourself sometimes means seeking the legal remedies available to you. At Blackstone Law, we defend your right to your religious beliefs aggressively and with the power of the law on our side. You don’t have to give in to mistreatment in the workplace simply because your employer disagrees with your religion. We can help you fight back.
How to Recognize Signs of Religious Discrimination
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers cannot discriminate against their employees because of their religious beliefs or lack thereof. This section of the Act prohibits employers from using religious considerations in any employee-related decision-making. This includes hiring, termination, and any other terms of employment.
Employees may not be mistreated or ostracized in the workplace because of their religious beliefs. Moreover, employers cannot require their staff members to participate in religious activities in the workplace.
Possible signs of religious discrimination in the workplace include:
- An employer’s refusal to hire you based on religious considerations
- Refusal to allow employees to observe religious holidays
- Unwilling to allow employees to engage in reasonable religious practices (such as wearing a headscarf for religious reason or allowing employees to pray silently in their offices)
- Segregating employees into one area of the office because they share the same religious beliefs
Depending on the employer’s actions, other examples of religious discrimination may fall outside of the more typical actions. One of our attorneys can help you make that determination and move forward in holding the offending party responsible for such heinous actions.
