I believe I have a discrimination law suit against my employer. I would like to know what lawyer i need?

Question

My boss offers profit sharing to employees only on projects exceeding $50,000. Most of these jobs are larger scale commercial type jobs. I work out of the shop and am told my profit sharing is working year round and being close to home. This year I have been layed off due to lack of work for 2+ months, some benefit huh? Most of the commercial guys work year round also, maybe a month or two layed off at the most. They also work within driving distance of their homes. Also, the foreman get to take their vehicles home everynight. In some instances, I believe I could and/or should be considered a residential foreman, I do most of the home wiring for the company. I don't get the luxury of taking the company van home. There are still a lot of responsibilities being a residential FOREMAN. I could ramble on about this topic for hours, but all I would like to know is if there is something that could be done about this mistreatment of a hard working, taken advantage of electrician

Yes, I'm temporarily laid off. No not looking for the easy way out. I just am sick of being s*** on all the time by my boss. No one else in the shop wants to stand up for themselves, so I will if there is something to pursue. Maybe terminating my postition with this company anyway, just want to get the ducks in a row if something can be made of it!!

Answer 1

Well,
sounds like you really know your stuff... and you obviously know the business... so why don't you get yourself bank-rolled, get your own van.. but one that has a catchy jingo... and take that sucker down at his own game!

Who needs bosses anyway right?

Answer 2

Profit sharing should be a benefit offered to all employees regardless of company standing if they have a hands on job that does bring in profit, sounds like you do. I dont know about the laws, dont think its discrimination but is definitely an unfair practice. I guess I have to ask, would it be worth it in the long haul if you lost your job and your case? It sounds like you have a much needed skill I think I would start looking around for a new job that is fair to all.

Answer 3

You need to talk to a lawyer in your state, employment law varies from state to state, BUT, mostly it is line with Federal rules regarding employment, and the scenario you describe does not fall into the discrimination category. Discrimination at work, per Federal rules, is about you being discriminated against because of your race, sex, religion, handicapped status, etc.

It sounds as though you need to ask to be a commercial foreman the next time a spot is open.

Answer 4

Your buddy is physically powerful. you could't have somebody sign away their criminal rights to sue under such situations. yet, in case you had an "arbitration contract," meaning you compromise to arbitration in lieu of courtroom, those are at times enforceable. yet even then, it may at times be challenged if it became unconscionable. There are additionally different issues like "releases" once you're negotiating a "contract contract" however the coverage in permitting this is in view which you have possibly gotten a therapy, or you will not be settling. And the only different concern is while you're signing a waiver of criminal duty, yet that would not recommend you won't be in a position to sue, it is purely asserting you're "assuming the prospect" this is purely a protection that the different side can advance. yet possible sue in case you have been injured and characteristic a valid declare. they are in a position to't relieve themselves of all criminal duty, and that they are in a position to't stop you from suing. in the event that they tried to waive that piece of paper at a decide, the decide would probable snigger of their face. And in case you probably did sue for something, they probable would not be waiting to counter sue you for breach, by way of fact a settlement like that would not be enforceable.

Answer 5

Where did you get the idea that all discrimination is illegal. If it's not based on sex, religion, national origin, age, race, marital status or handicap then it's not illegal, and that's only for employers who accept federal funds and doesn't cover employees of the federal government or municipal governments. Employers discriminate all the time as when they hire a college grad over a high school dropout.

Answer 7

laying people off is their technical way of getting out of paying benefits. you can talk to a lawyer or union if you have one just to make sure, Otherwise you should be entitled to go for unemployment compensation during the months you are laid off

Answer 8

I really don't think you have a case for discrimination on this one, you should find another job with someone else who appreciates your work more

Answer 9

Ok, why are you discriminated against that is a protected class, they can legally mistreat you if they just dont' like you, they can do it because you have red hair if they want, or because you have green eyes. So just because you don't like the way you are treated is not any legal matter, you are free to change jobs.

If they are doing it because of your race, or because of your religion, or because of a disability, then you have a case, Discimination in itself is legal as long as it is not because of a protected class.

I see no law case what so ever.

Answer 10

on second thought, you laid off, you get upset, now you seek a reason to go to a lawyer...
New law went into effect long ago...an employer needs no reason to let you go...
talk about an opportunist...
if I am getting three thumbs down for my initial answer for no apparent reason, might as well burst your bubble
