Everyday in America, countless number of employees and contractors are discriminated against because of their race, age, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion and national origin. According to Federal Law, you cannot be fired, demoted, passed over for promotion or retaliated against because of your race, age, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion and national origin. In addition, it is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for blowing the whistle on illegal activities.
In this interview with attorney Amos Jones from the Amos Jones Law Firm, he discusses your Federally protected rights and what to do if those rights are violated.
