Religious Discrimination
It can be overwhelming to find yourself subjected to mistreatment and harassment in the workplace because of your religious beliefs. Many individuals who are victims of religious discrimination at work may feel embarrassed and unsure of what to do next, but the experienced lawyers at Bernabei & Kabat, PLLC, in Washington, D.C., can help.
For over 30 years, we have acted on behalf of people who experienced unfair and illegal treatment in the workplace, including religious discrimination. Your right to religious freedom is also effective while at work, and hostile actions, inappropriate comments and exclusion because of your faith is unacceptable. As a law firm deeply committed to social justice and the protection of civil rights, we can help you stand up for your right to work in a safe and appropriate work environment.
Unfavorable treatment because of your religious beliefs can take many forms. You may not receive a deserved promotion, or your boss may refuse to accommodate your request for permission to pray at certain times. Co-workers may harass you, ask intentionally inappropriate questions or subject you to jokes that are rude and intended to cause emotional harm.
We believe in tenaciously defending the rights of each individual in the workplace. We can work with you to file discrimination or harassment reports to human resources in a way that does not expose you to retaliatory measures. If necessary, we will fight on your behalf with the EEOC, and if a lawsuit is necessary, we will advocate for your interests around the negotiating table or in court.
We work to develop a plan of action best suited to your individual needs and goals. Our objective is to protect your right to a workplace free from discrimination and retaliation through the most effective and appropriate legal recourse.
