Description: Washington, DC civil rights lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a job discrimination theory under 42 U.S.C. 2000e.
?42 U.S. Code § 2000e, also known as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees, labor unions, and employment agencies.
Title VII prohibits discrimination in all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, benefits, and training. It also prohibits retaliation against employees who oppose discrimination or file a discrimination complaint.
There are some exceptions to Title VII's prohibition on discrimination. For example, employers may discriminate on the basis of religion if religion is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ). BFOQs are narrowly defined and must be essential to the job in question.
Title VII also allows for certain types of affirmative action programs. Affirmative action programs are designed to remedy past discrimination and to ensure that all qualified individuals have an equal opportunity to be employed.
If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, you may file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC will investigate your complaint and may bring a lawsuit against your employer on your behalf.
Here are some of the specific provisions of Title VII:
It prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
It applies to employers with 15 or more employees, labor unions, and employment agencies.
It prohibits discrimination in all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, compensation, benefits, and training.
It also prohibits retaliation against employees who oppose discrimination or file a discrimination complaint.
There are some exceptions to Title VII's prohibition on discrimination, such as BFOQs and affirmative action programs.
If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, you may file a complaint with the EEOC.
Title VII is an important law that has helped to protect the rights of workers in the United States. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you should contact the EEOC or an attorney."
