Understanding Employment Law Issues

Weisberg Cummings, P.C. handles a number of common labor issues, including:

Discrimination due to sex, race, ethnic background, religion and country of origin is illegal. In parts of Pennsylvania, discrimination against someone because of their sexual orientation is also illegal. In many cases, discrimination is very subtle. It may take the form of wage gaps, harassment or failure to promote or hire. Often, it takes a skilled employment law attorney to prove cases of discrimination.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is meant to protect qualified workers with a disability from harassment and discrimination. Unfortunately, some employers are still not welcoming or accepting of disabled workers in the workplace. When this happens, a qualified employment law attorney can pursue a claim and compensation on behalf of the employee.

In many cases, labor law claims involve an individual employee and the company. However, in some cases where employers discriminate against groups of people or provide an unsafe workplace, class-action lawsuits may be used to allow groups of employees with a similar complaint to file a claim together.
