Did you know that it is against the law for real estate agents to direct buyers to purchase homes in areas that are comprised of certain races but not others? This type of activity is illegal, and it violates the Fair Housing Act. The government recently brought a suit against a Chicago real estate firm that was engaging in similar practices. In the lawsuit, it alleged that one of the real estate company’s former agents had directed a Hispanic individual to buy in predominantly Hispanic or African American areas. A white individual was directed to buy mostly in white areas. The case was settled when the real estate company agreed to pay $120,000.

‘Whistle-blowing‘ is when an employee reports an employer who is breaking the law to an agency or law enforcement. Employees who report their boss’ illegal behavior are protected by the law, and their employer may not fire them for their actions. If they are fired, they may be able to bring a suit against their employer.

Recently, a former CEO of an electricity provider in Texas brought a suit alleging wrongful termination against Fulcrum Power. The former CEO was Javier Vega. He claimed that he tried to blow the whistle on the company for ignoring state regulators and attempting to overcharge customers to save the company. The company denies the allegations.

Class actions are lawsuits that are brought by a group of people against a defendant. For example, if a group of people were wrongfully discriminated against at work, they may bring a common claim against their employer. However, if a defendant is successful in removing a class action status, the individuals bringing the suit would have to sue their employer individually. This might help limit the liability of the company, and individuals might be less inclined to bring a suit on their own.

A recent case involving Wal-Mart examined this issue. In this case, a group of plaintiff’s suing on a sex discrimination basis claimed that Wal-Mart was prejudicial in its salaries and promotions. The U.S. Appeals Court recently decided to examine a ruling that allowed these plaintiffs to proceed in a class action. If the status is removed, the plaintiffs would have to individually sue Wal-Mart, and as a result the company may be able to limit its liability.

A Federal court recently ruled that Type 2 Diabetes patients may be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). According to the ADA, a ‘disability’ is a ‘physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major activities of the individual.’ The court found that diabetes is a ”physical impairment’ because it affects the digestive, hemic and endocrine systems, and eating is a ‘major life activity.” This means that if you have Diabetes, and if you have been discriminated against at work based on your diabetes, you may have a claim against your employer.

In the court’s decision, the judges found that the lower court erred in dismissing a disability case brought by Larry Rohr on the basis that diabetes was not a ‘disability.’ Rohr alleged that his employer discriminated against him by forcing him out of his job.

If you have diabetes, and if your employer has discriminated against you based on your diabetes, you may be able to bring a suit against your employer.

It is illegal under both California and Federal law for an employer to discriminate against an employee in relation to the ‘terms & conditions of employment based on their religion’ The legal definition of ‘terms & conditions’ include things like the hiring, firing, promoting, and compensation of employees. If your employer has forced to violate your religious beliefs in order to retain your job, know that this is illegal. Recently, a woman received a settlement in relation to her religious discrimination suit. She was not hired by Washington’s transit agency because she would not wear pants. Her Apostolic Pentecostal faith did not allow her to wear the pants that were a party of the position’s uniform.

California and Federal law protects employees against racial discrimination on what they define as the ‘terms and conditions’ of employment which include hiring, firing, promotions, and salary among other things. ‘Race’ is often defined as a person’s ethnic background or racial characteristics.

If you have been discriminated at work based on your race, you should know that it is against the law. However, this is not a rare occurrence. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has recently brought suit against J.C. Penny on behalf of Reinell Singh an African American who had worked at the store. The suit alleges that Singh was discriminated against as his supervisor repeatedly referred to him with racial epithets.
