The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

Federal and state anti-discrimination laws prohibit discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, age, gender or disability.

Still, low income Latinos are discriminated against routinely nationwide with millions of Spanish-speaking immigrants living their lives unprotected by the law. Latinos are cheated out of wages, denied basic healthcare coverage and are victims of racial profiling.

In a survey, over 40% of Latinos said they experienced theft of their wages by their employers, another 40% reported unfair treatment by police and over 70% of Latino women experienced sexual harassment by superiors, who used their immigrant status against them. In addition, Latinos are often passed over for promotions despite their qualifications and long term employment.
