Anti-Discrimination Laws
Discrimination is more than just a violation of ethics – it is also a violation of US federal law. The US government has passed a number of laws aimed at protecting federal employees from unethical discrimination; however, far too often, managers and overseers let their own biases and small-minded beliefs guide their hiring, advancement, and other decisions.
At the Vaughn Law Firm, we are committed to protecting the rights of federal employees. Our experienced government discrimination lawyers know what it takes to hold employers accountable for their actions, and we would like to discuss your needs with you. Contact us today by calling 1-877-615-9495.
Federal Anti-Discrimination Law
Since the first major employment laws were passed in the 1960s, the rights of federal employees have grown steadily. Today, there are a number of major laws protecting them from discrimination, including:
- The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects discrimination based on race, religion, color, nationality, or sex
- The Equal Pay Act of 1963, which requires that women be paid equally for equal work
- The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, which protects people over the age of 40 from being discriminated against
- The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which protects federal employees with disabilities from being discriminated against
- The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination act of 2008, which protects applicants, employees and former employees from discrimination based on genetic information
As a federal employee, you have certain guaranteed rights which cannot be violated. When you have been the victim of discrimination, you can demand justice.
