Discrimination Class Actions

Holding Employers Responsible for Discrimination through Class Action Litigation

Many victims of age, race, gender, religion or other illegal discrimination in the workplace are not alone. Other workers within their company may face the same unfair and unlawful treatment by supervisors, managers or executives. With offices in New York and Connecticut, the employment law firm of Outten & Golden advocates forcefully on behalf of groups of workers nationwide who have been victimized by acts of discrimination. We also represent clients with promotion and compensation claims based on gender or race, including glass ceilings and sticky floors, or who faced hiring discrimination because of credit history.

Discrimination class action litigation is complex and requires the experience and resources that our firm provides. Do not let discriminatory acts stand unchallenged. Contact our offices in Manhattan or Stamford to schedule an appointment with an experienced employment discrimination class action attorney. We understand the subtle employer actions that can result in unfair compensation and unequal opportunities for advancement. For example, we work with women in the financial services industry who face discrimination in account assignment or business allocation based on gender.

Widespread Discrimination Results in Class Action Litigation

At Outten & Golden LLP Link to Firm Overview, we represent groups of employees and class representatives in class action litigation arising out of alleged patterns of:

• Disability discrimination

• LGBT discrimination
• Racial, age-based, religious, gender-based or any other unlawful discrimination

Employment Discrimination Is Still Widespread

Patterns and practices of discrimination based on race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation have been deemed unacceptable by courts time and again. Yet, even today, employers still engage in these actions. Discrimination creates "glass ceilings" and “sticky floors” that make it difficult for employees to advance. It creates hostile environments and wastes the talents and skills of good employees.

Employees Fear Retaliation and Job Loss

Employees who value their jobs typically hesitate to report discrimination. They may fear subtle or outright retaliation that may make a bad situation worse. They worry about becoming unemployed because they stood up for themselves. But no employee should have to accept this kind of environment.

The Experience and Resources Employees Need

Experience, resources, and legal knowledge are paramount in the successful handling of discrimination class action suits. Our attorneys advocate for employees and stand up to large corporations on their behalf. If discrimination is occurring in the workplace, we will work diligently to hold the employer accountable.
