Employment & Labor Law

To determine if your rights have been violated, consider:

• Your employment type: union, individual contract, or at-will?
• Possible discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
• Suitable agencies or courts for resolution, and the pros and cons of each.
