Major Areas of Discrimination and Harassment Law — and What You Need to Know
Harassment
Harassed individuals are very vulnerable. You feel like you have nowhere to turn. In addition, the laws are confusing and many have strict time limits for bringing a claim. If you believe you have been harassed at work, give us a call. If your situation involves abuse (or alleged abuse) of a family or household member, we are here for you. We can help if the alleged conduct involves stalking or violence, or even threats of violence. We are here to counsel you about your rights, negotiate a resolution if needed, and litigate your case if all else fails. Sexual harassment against women and men is the most common form of unlawful harassment—from unwanted verbal or physical conduct or being subjected to sexually offensive behavior that creates a hostile environment. Illegal sexual conduct ranges from comments about a person’s body or questions about someone’s personal relationships to inappropriate touching and requests for sex. Sexual harassment can impact an individual’s work performance and can create an intimidating, offensive, and hostile work environment.
Discrimination
Lots of discrimination, or unequal treatment, is illegal. This can include discrimination based on gender, age, race, ability, ethnicity, religion, national origin, veterans status, sexual orientation, and pregnancy. Sometimes discrimination can be proven through “smoking gun” evidence. Often, however, no such evidence exists. Rather, you might be discriminated against–either at work or in places of public accommodation–because of implicit bias. To be sure, deep-rooted prejudices at work or in other public places are often difficult to prove. The law, however, forbids such discrimination.
At Olin Lippiello LLP, we have decades of experience helping clients understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to both explicit and implicit discrimination. We have counseled many employees and other individuals and been involved in numerous discrimination lawsuits. If you feel you have been discriminated against at work, in your application for a job, or in a place of public accommodation, give us a call. As a client, we will help you understand your rights and work with you to form a plan to address your particular situation.
LGBTQ
In Massachusetts, the law protects heterosexual, gay, lesbian, transgender, transsexual, queer and other classifications of orientation from differential treatment because of status. The law provides damages in situations where status or orientation has played a motivating factor in an adverse employment or certain other decisions. The law also protects against discrimination or harassment due to an individual’s status or orientation.
If you feel that you have been (or are being) discriminated against or harassed on the basis of your status, the lawyers at Olin Lippiello LLP can help you understand your rights. We are experienced in handling all types of discrimination claims, including those within the LBGTQ community. In particular, Attorney Lisa Lippiello’s practice is growing within the transgender community with many clients seeking her steadfast commitment to equality and fairness.
