Employment class-action lawsuits are appropriate for a group of people impacted negatively by an employer’s actions. If you believe you and your past/current colleagues need to initiate an employment class action, contact Majarian Law Group today for a free case evaluation.
Racial discrimination is a common reason for class action suits. Systemic racism and mistreatment in the workplace affect many and can be difficult to prove without records. Note unjustified appointment, termination or unfair wage disparity between employees on similar levels.
Remember, an isolated act of racism does not warrant a class action, but you may contact us for assistance. Your class action suit gains more leverage if it is a recurring and standard practice from your employer. Questionable hiring practices or wrongful terminations of people of a particular gender, race, or religion may indicate a pattern of discrimination.
Unpaid overtime or unpaid wages is a common form of malpractice in some organizations. Typically, an unethical employer won’t just target one employee with unpaid overtime or unpaid wages; instead, they target those they assume will not speak out against it or perhaps even notice. A large number of employees potentially affected by unpaid wages or overtime would indicate filing a class action lawsuit for unfair remuneration alongside Majarian Law Group should be the course of action.
Failure to provide a safe working environment can also affect multiple people. Most employees are aware of industry standards; they can determine if their organizations are adhering to these protocols. Employers who ignore employees’ requests for workplace safety can face legal action from their staff, according to California law.
That said, there must be an individual assessment of cases involving the withholding of wages and discrimination. Proving a pattern of behavior is essential in all employment law cases.
