Articles

Whistleblowers
Witnessing your boss committing an illegal act will likely create internal conflict. Should you reveal it? Will you lose your job?
Sexual Harassment
While laws have become more stringent and ongoing training is provided to staff to raise awareness, sexual harassment still exists in many workplaces.
Race Discrimination
Race and national origin should have nothing to do with your employability or the loss of your job. At the Employee Rights Law Firm — Law Offices of Mark A. Jess, L.L.C., we aggressively advocate for our clients victimized by race discrimination.
Gender Discrimination
Gender discrimination can take on many forms, involving both men and women. If you suspect that your gender is a factor in your job stability or an existing hostile work environment, you need an aggressive employment law attorney at your side.
Retaliation
The sudden loss of a job is unsettling. Even more unsettling is the realization that your firing was actually a retaliatory discharge. You witnessed and reported an illegal activity.
