Minneapolis Discrimination Lawyer

Discrimination is treating someone differently based on his/her membership in a “protected class.” Protected classes include race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, receipt of public assistance, and age.

Discriminatory practices may include racial slurs, derogatory comments, workplace harassment, expressions of prejudice, verbal abuse, or termination or reprimands where co-workers who were not members of the employee’s protected class engaged in the same conduct as the employee but were not terminated or reprimanded. Discrimination can also be subtle, such as reassignment to a difficult or unpleasant work task, failure to promote, or poor job reviews despite adequate performance.

In disability discrimination cases, it is unlawful for an employer to refuse to reasonably accommodate a disabled employee’s disability, unless the employer can show that such accommodation would impose an undue hardship on its business.
