Discriminated Against?
Enforce Your Rights!
Employment Discrimination Lawyers in New Jersey
In 1945 New Jersey enacted the Law Against Discrimination. It is unlawful for employers and commercial establishments like stores, restaurants and hotels to discriminate against people due to their race, creed, color, national origin or ancestry.
This was a great start, but much more needs to be done. In 1972 the law was expanded to include the handicapped and disabled. In 1991 it became unlawful to discriminate against "affectional or sexual orientation."
