Fighting Workplace Discrimination Across the Bronx
No one should be treated unfairly at work because of who they are. If you’ve experienced discrimination in hiring, promotions, pay, or working conditions — whether based on your race, age, gender, disability, religion, or pregnancy — Vandamme Law Firm is ready to help. We serve employees across the Bronx who are ready to stand up for their rights.
Discrimination Isn’t Always Obvious — But It’s Always Unacceptable
Workplace discrimination doesn’t always come in the form of slurs or direct insults. Often, it shows up in subtler ways: a pattern of unfair treatment, being passed over for promotions, or sudden negative performance reviews after disclosing a medical condition or pregnancy.
Whether the conduct is blatant or buried beneath corporate-speak, we know how to investigate, document, and prove discriminatory treatment.
Common Types of Workplace Discrimination in the Bronx
Patterns We Help Clients Fight
Racial and National Origin Discrimination
Being treated differently because of your race, ethnicity, or accent is illegal. We represent workers facing racial slurs, exclusion from opportunities, and biased evaluations.
Pregnancy and Family Status Discrimination
Employers cannot penalize you for becoming pregnant, needing parental leave, or caring for a family member. We help workers who’ve been sidelined or replaced while on protected leave.
Disability Discrimination
Whether physical or mental, a disability should never be a barrier to fair treatment. We fight for reasonable accommodations and stand up to employers who retaliate when requests are made.
Age Discrimination
Workers over 40 are protected under the law — but we regularly see clients forced out, passed over, or denied training because they’re seen as “too old.” That’s unlawful, and we can help you respond.
Bronx Employment Discrimination FAQs
How do I know if I’ve experienced discrimination?
If you’ve been treated unfairly compared to others — especially after disclosing something like a pregnancy, illness, or religious belief — it may be worth investigating. We can help you assess whether you have a case.
Is there a time limit for filing a claim?
Yes. You typically have 300 days to file with the EEOC or NYS Division of Human Rights. Contact us quickly so we can preserve your rights.
Do I need proof to file a discrimination claim?
You don’t need a smoking gun. We can build a case using patterns, witness testimony, emails, and other circumstantial evidence.
Will I lose my job if I file a complaint?
Retaliation is illegal. If your employer takes action against you for filing, that becomes a separate claim — and we’ll fight it, too.
