In the bustling regions of San Bernardino and Riverside, collectively known as the Inland Empire, military veterans are an integral part of the community. These brave individuals, having served our nation, deserve respect, honor, and fair treatment in all aspects of life, especially in the workplace. However, there are instances where military veterans face discrimination and retaliation, which is both unjust and illegal. At Sanford A. Kassel, A Professional Law Corporation, we are committed to defending the rights of veterans and ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.
Understanding Military Veteran Discrimination and Retaliation
Military veteran discrimination occurs when employers treat veterans unfavorably due to their military service. This can manifest in various ways, from hiring decisions to promotions and benefits. Retaliation, on the other hand, arises when an employer takes adverse action against a veteran for asserting their rights or reporting discrimination.
Veterans’ Employment Rights
- Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA): This federal law protects service members’ reemployment rights when returning from a period of service in the uniformed services, including protection from being disadvantaged in the workplace due to their service.
- Protection from Discrimination: Veterans are protected from discrimination based on their military service under both federal and state laws.
- Right to a Discrimination-Free Workplace: Veterans have the right to work in an environment free from bias, harassment, and any form of discrimination based on their military service.
