Gender discrimination (also called sex discrimination) is prohibited by state and federal law. Title VII and Louisiana statutes prohibit employers from discriminating against employees or treating employees in a discriminatory manner because of their gender. Discriminatory treatment includes unequal pay based on gender (typically unequal pay for women) and disparate treatment for pregnancy (pregnancy discrimination ) or taking medical leave under FMLA. In addition, you cannot be fired or denied employment because of your gender.
Mr. Arruebarrena has been representing Louisiana clients in gender discrimination claims since 1993. He understands state and federal discrimination laws, including sex discrimination or gender discrimination. He also has the litigation experience to help you if you are being discriminated against or denied opportunities because of your gender.
