Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

We represent federal employees in all stages of EEOC proceedings, including investigations, administrative hearings and judicial appeals. We also litigate employee rights’ cases in state and federal district courts.

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly or adversely based on certain protected characteristics. Discrimination can come in the form of disciplinary actions and wrongful discharge, mistreatment or differential treatment, retaliation for filing claims, or other adverse action against you. Here are some characteristics protected from workplace discrimination by law:

• Race Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their race or ethnicity.
• Color Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their skin color.
• National Origin Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their nationality or ancestry.
• Sex Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their sex. This includes:
• Gender Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their gender identity.
• Sexual Harassment: Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
• Pregnancy Discrimination: Treating a woman differently because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
• Religion Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their religion or religious beliefs.
• Age Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their age (typically over 40).
• Disability Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of a physical or mental impairment.
• Genetic Information Discrimination: Treating someone differently because of their genetic information.
• Retaliation: Punishing or mistreating an employee for complaining about discrimination or harassment.

It is important to note that these types of discrimination can overlap, and often do. For example, a woman of color may experience both race and sex discrimination.
