Civil rights are the basic rights afforded to all Americans by the Constitution of the United States and to all Californians by the Constitution of the State of California. These rights are not to be breached under any circumstances according to the law. Unfortunately, people have their civil rights violated every day, and one place this happens frequently is in the workplace.

The Constitutions of both the United States and the State of California prohibit discrimination based on:

Race, National Origin, Religion, Gender, and Age.

But these violations are consistently practiced by employers. One of the reasons for this is that people often do not stand up for their rights when they are violated, allowing employers to continue these harmful practices.
