Discrimination is a violation of civil rights
law defined by unfavourable or unfair treatment of a person or class
of persons in comparison to others who are not members of the
protected class because of race, sex, color, religion, national
origin, age, physical/mental handicap, sexual harassment, sexual
orientation or reprisal for opposition to discriminatory practices.
EEO or Equal Employment Opportunity Laws are
designed to prevent discrimination. EEO Laws demands that all
persons receive the same opportunities for hiring, training, and
promotion.
Unfair treatment is not necessarily unlawful
discrimination. Treating a person unfavourably in comparison to
others may violate EEO laws only when that person's protected status
is a factor in the treatment. |
