Michigan Lawyers Handle Religious Discrimination Cases
Religious discrimination amounts to a type of harassment in many cases. You cannot be forced to go against your conscience and commit an act that violates the tenets of your religion.
- Were you, a Muslim, asked to handle pork on the job although you explained to your supervisor that your religion does not permit you to do this?
- Were you, a pro-life pharmacist, asked to dispense oral contraceptives against your will?
Talk to an attorney to learn what the law has to say about your particular situation, and how to file a complaint or file a lawsuit to correct or compensate you for the effects of illegal religious discrimination.
Protecting Employees From Religious Discrimination
Despite the history of diversity in our country — including the presence of many people without any religious faith — it is still a fact of life in a great many work settings that people who profess Christianity are favored. But Christians are also harassed in some workplaces. Whether you are a member of a minority faith or a practicing Christian, and regardless of what type of religious discrimination you experienced, you are encouraged to talk about your case with a Michigan employment law attorney.
We can help you file a complaint with the appropriate administrative agency such as the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) — while taking steps to protect yourself from a backlash of retaliation. After the EEOC has responded, we can help you take your complaint the rest of the way — including to court if necessary.
