What is Discrimination?
Broadly speaking, discrimination is the act of treating a certain group of people differently than others. Discrimination can be positive – when the group in question is treated better than others – or it can be negative, when the targets of the discriminatory actions are treated worse. Federal law protects people from workplace discrimination based on:
- Race
- Color
- National origin
- Gender
- Sexual orientation
- Age
- Military status
- Religion
- Disabilities
