Our San Jose Weight Discrimination Lawyer Defends You Against Discriminatory Behavior
State and federal laws protect people against discrimination in San Jose, both at work and when otherwise in the general public. Unfortunately, these often fail to protect people who don’t fit into stereotypes in terms of body size and shape.
Prohibitions against discrimination based on a person’s height, body shape, or weight are non-existent in many parts of the country and only in limited jurisdictions in California. Fortunately, the Bay Area has these protections in place, but weight discrimination in San Jose continues to happen. If you or someone you love is a victim, contact Venardi Zurada LLP.
Our experienced San Jose weight discrimination lawyers take a strong stand against this behavior and act as a strong legal advocate on your side to stop the discrimination and harassment. We hold those at fault accountable and defend your rights against discriminatory behavior, such as:
- Exclusion from consideration in job applications and interviews
- Being hired for only ‘back of the house’ jobs and other obvious attempts to isolate you due to your weight
- Not providing a reasonable work environment, such as an adequately sized desk or properly fitting uniforms
- Not making the same wages, offered the same training, or given opportunities similar to other employees
- Denying you health care and other benefits or forcing you to participate in ‘fitness’ programs
- Making derogatory comments about your weight or ‘fat people’ in general and enabling a hostile work environment
Weight discrimination can happen on the job or when dealing with the public. When business owners, employers, or employees treat you poorly due to your size and shape, you can hold them liable in a weight discrimination claim.
