California Civil Rights Group Announces Updates on Mandatory Arbitration Agreements and Impact on Employment Law

San Francisco Bay Area Sexual Harassment Law Firms

As a leading Bay Area law firm working in the areas of sexual harassment and racial discrimination, the California Civil Rights Law Group is proud to announce an update to its commentary on 'mandatory arbitration' changes in California law. The firm reminds California employees who may be seeking a sexual harassment or racial discrimination law firm to seek out legal advice.

California Civil Rights Law Group, a San Francisco Bay Area law firm specializing in race discrimination and sexual harassment law, is proud to announce a new alert on California AB51, a bill which would make changes to mandatory arbitration agreements. The law was widely seen as advancing employee rights against employers, especially vis-a-vis sexual harassment and other workplace issues.

"We keep a keen eye on legislation moving in Sacramento that may impact sexual harassment and racial discrimination lawsuits," explained Larry Organ, principal attorney at the Bay Area-based law firm. "Our blog alert helps the community know the status of AB51 and some of the legal challenges to the law. We'll keep everyone posted on this important bill."

Persons interested in reading the alert can visit https://www.civilrightsca.com/ab51-update. Journalists, bloggers, and other media representatives who are looking to speak with experts in California sexual harassment or racial discrimination law are also urged to read the post and then reach out for interview opportunities. Persons who would like to learn more about sexual harassment can visit the informational page at https://www.civilrightsca.com/sexual-harassment. In addition, confidential consultations are available either over the phone or in-person at the law firm's offices in San Francisco, San Anselmo (Marin County), or Oakland.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN CALIFORNIA

Many employees experience sexual harassment at work but are unsure of their legal rights. Even in supposedly "liberal" California, sexual harassment remains an issue. California’s Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA) makes sexual harassment in the workplace illegal. But, defining sexual harassment can be difficult. Sexual harassment typically takes two different forms. The more widespread form is where the harasser creates a hostile work environment by behaving in a way that is offensive or abusive towards a person because of one's sex, sexual orientation or gender identity. The second type is quid pro quo harassment where benefits of employment are conditioned on sexual favors. Either type of harassment violates the law.
