Unfair Labor Practices
Our Lancaster employment fraud attorneys can help residents of Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Victorville, and beyond who have been wrongfully terminated. If an employer violates the clauses outlined in the National Labor Relations Act or Civil Rights Act, it may be possible to file a claim against the employer for compensation relating to loss of wages. It may also be possible, depending on the circumstances, to file for punitive damages to punish the employer for its illegal actions. Our employment fraud attorneys can review your case and help determine whether you are eligible for compensation. Any of the following actions by an employer or union may be grounds for an unfair labor practices claim:
- Discriminating against an employee because of gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political affiliation, national origin, disability, or any other protected attribute.
