Employment Discrimination and Retaliation: What You Can Do if It’s Legal?

Employers in Oregon and around the nation often flout important labor rules, frequently to the detriment of thousands of workers. Unlawful action taken against an employee for opposing or rejecting discrimination is the most prevalent problem in cases brought before the EEOC, according to it. Or, to put it another way, it is likely that your employer would punish you for bringing their discriminatory practices to their knowledge (or assisting another employee to do so).

As a result of discrimination at work or retribution for speaking out, our lawyers can assist you in pursuing several legal remedies.

The following may be possible with our help:

• Promotion or reinstatement.
• Payment in the past and the future.
• If you have been harmed emotionally or financially due to a crime, we can help you get punitive damages.
• Warning from the court against your employer’s future unlawful activities through an injunction.

Forced Arbitration Clauses: The Issues with Employment Mediations

Employers will do whatever it takes to avoid being sued in front of the public. To resolve disagreements between an employer and an employee, arbitration (a formal and binding type of mediation) is mandated in employment contracts in Oregon and the United States. Employment advocacy organizations and lawmakers have made efforts to abolish these provisions, but they have not yet succeeded.

We will stand by your side and demand the same degree of expertise, attention to detail, and devotion to justice as you will find in a court of law if your employer pushes you to resolve an employment law matter via arbitration.
