Los Angeles Military Status Discrimination
Why would anyone treat an employee or a job seeker unfairly just because they have a history defending the country? People are often surprised that someone with military status can face employment discrimination. Even though military status discrimination is illegal under Federal and California state laws, it is common in today’s workplace.
Some of the issues or forms of discrimination where the law may entitle you to a military/veteran discrimination claim include where:
- An employer specifically fails to hire you because you are a former member of the United States Military
- Your employer replaced you with another employee and did not keep an open position for your return from military deployment.
- A company did not hire you because you are a member of the military reserve or National Guard
- Your employer denied you a promotion because of your status as a veteran or a member United States Military.
- You were fired because you were about to be called up for active duty.
- You were fired or denied employment solely because you were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
