Employment discrimination is still a pervasive issue in the workplace, impacting individuals based on factors such as race, gender, age, and more. Respect for each individual is at the heart of every productive, vibrant, and fair workplace. Unfortunately, the reality often falls short of this ideal, with employment discrimination still prevalent across various sectors and industries. Being subjected to unfair treatment at work can lead to a hostile and unproductive work environment, as well as emotional distress for the affected individual. If you’ve been subjected to unfair treatment at work based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or other protected characteristics, you’re not alone—and you have rights that must be protected. With Wanta Thome, you can ensure that your rights are protected and fight back against discrimination in the workplace. Our team of experienced professionals will advocate for you and work to secure the justice you deserve.

Understanding Employment Discrimination

Discrimination takes various forms, influencing how individuals or groups are treated based on their perceived or actual membership in certain social categories. This treatment is often worse than how others are typically treated, leading to exclusion and restricted access to opportunities or privileges. While discrimination is prevalent worldwide, it is not always rooted in prejudice.

A Range of Protections for Employment Discrimination

Our practice extends to safeguarding your rights against discrimination based on age, disability, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, national origin, race, and marital and caregiver status. Additionally, these protections extend to hostile work environments, where mistreatment is tied to an employee’s protected status.

We are also dedicated to upholding the rights of service members under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
