Civil Rights – Harassment – Discrimination
Unfortunately, with the resurgence of racism, extreme nationalism and sexism, it is important now more than ever that you seek legal counsel and exercise your right to not be a victim of Discrimination or Harassment.
Employers have a duty to protect you.
Never should you have to accept an environment where you feel unequal due to your religion, accent, skin color, ancestry, or gender.
In Florida and the United States we have civil rights that prevents other from discriminating against, or harassing you based on any uncontrollable trait such as your:
- Age – younger staff calling older people ‘pops’
- Race/Skin Color
- Ancestry/National Origin – “Go back to Asia/Africa/Mexico.” – “You’re not one of us.”
- Religion (which could include religious dress and grooming)
- Need to care for someone under FMLA
- Sex

- includes pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and medical conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding

You have a right to speak up!
In Florida, it is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who complain against workplace discrimination. Your protected complaint can be about discrimination or harassment you are suffering, or the discrimination or harassment another employee in the workplace is suffering.
Your employer is prohibited from retaliating against an employee who make as a good faith complaint or good faith protest of discrimination.
