Inglewood Employment Discrimination

Every employee deserves fair treatment at work, yet many Inglewood workers still face discrimination based on who they are rather than how they perform. With a diverse workforce employed in industries such as aviation, logistics, healthcare, retail, and entertainment, Inglewood is no stranger to employment disputes. Whether you work at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), in a local medical facility, or for a small business near Market Street, discrimination has no place in your career.

Our experienced attorneys know how to identify unlawful conduct, build strong cases, and fight for justice — whether through negotiation, agency filings, or litigation.

What Is Employment Discrimination?

Employment discrimination occurs when employers make decisions about hiring, pay, promotions, discipline, or termination based on personal characteristics rather than qualifications. For example, a cargo company at LAX refusing to promote older workers, or a retail employer along Century Boulevard firing someone for being pregnant, may both be engaged in unlawful discrimination.

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), along with federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the ADA, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), protects Inglewood workers from these practices.

What Characteristics are Protected Under the Law in Inglewood?

Employers in Inglewood cannot discriminate against employees because of:

  • Race and Color: Unequal treatment, racial slurs, or biased hiring decisions.

  • National Origin or Language: Refusing to hire or promote due to birthplace, accent, or cultural background.

  • Gender, Gender Identity, or Sexual Orientation: Unequal pay, harassment, or denial of benefits.

  • Religion: Failure to provide reasonable schedule or dress code accommodations.

  • Pregnancy or Parental Status: Termination or demotion linked to pregnancy or parental leave.

  • Age (40+): Favoring younger employees over experienced workers.

  • Disability or Medical Condition: Refusing reasonable accommodations for physical or mental health needs.

  • Marital, Military, or Veteran Status: Allowing personal life or military service to affect employment opportunities.

If you believe an employment decision in Inglewood was motivated by one of these traits, a workplace discrimination lawyer can help protect your rights.

Common Forms of Workplace Discrimination in Inglewood

Workplace discrimination can take many forms, from clear acts to hidden policies. Common examples we see in Inglewood include:

  • Biased Hiring and Promotion: Qualified employees being passed over for jobs or leadership roles.

  • Unequal Pay: Paying women or minority employees less than colleagues with the same duties.

  • Harassment and Hostile Work Environments: Repeated offensive comments or conduct targeting protected characteristics.

  • Wrongful Termination: Disguising discriminatory firings as performance issues or “downsizing.”

  • Failure to Accommodate: Refusing to make minor adjustments for medical conditions or religious practices.

  • Retaliation: Demotion, discipline, or job loss after reporting discrimination or filing a complaint.

These unlawful practices can occur in any workplace — from airlines and warehouses near LAX to offices, hospitals, and service jobs across Inglewood.

  2. Consider Reporting to HR: Filing an internal complaint creates a record, though you may want legal advice first.

  3. Consult an Attorney: Deadlines for filing with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) or the EEOC can be short. Our lawyers can guide you through the process and represent you from start to finish.

I was referred by a colleague when I discussed with them about discrepancies in my pay, I was not sure if I even had a case. I thought I would have to provide documented evidence of not being paid full wages, to my surprise they took what I was able to provide, and they sought and gathered the additional documents needed for my case. I was kept up to date on every step and was totally pleased with the settlement. I tell everyone now it you have employment issues please seek out Lawyers for Justice, lay out your case and they are upfront and honest on what they can do for you.
