Fighting Against Religious Discrimination in California
The tension between free speech rights and workplace discrimination and harassment can be confusing, causing many victims of employment law violations to question whether they may have a claim for damages. Many circumstances may be subject to legal action:
- It is illegal for superiors and co-workers to systematically impose religious views upon you at work
- The handing out of pamphlets about religion at work may be illegal
- Inquiring about your religious views in the workplace is inappropriate
- Encouraging you to adopt a religious view in the workplace is not allowed
- Criticizing, mocking and questioning your sexual orientation based on religious views, and quoting the bible in regard to your sexual orientation
- Writing you up or retaliating against you after you request time off for a religious reason, including the Sabbath day, is illegal
