Curbing Discrimination In The Workplace
Despite continual legislation and case law to stem on-the-job discrimination, many employees still face the tension of illegal discrimination at work. For the past 40 years, the attorneys at the Law Office of Sivertson and Barrette, P.A., have been providing legal advocacy for those who battle workplace discrimination throughout Minnesota.
State and federal laws prohibit employers from engaging in age, gender, race, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital status and other discrimination when relating to their potential and existing employees. Sometimes, employees are afraid to speak out and fight for their right to be free of discrimination at work due to fear of job loss. Other times, employees do not know they have a right to speak out. Our attorneys understand the immense emotional and financial impact losing your job can have on you and your loved ones. We are here to help you.
