§ 40121 Labor Contract Anti-Discrimination Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •No work group or boss can say 'no' to someone just because of their race, religion, skin color, or if they are a man or woman.
  • •If a work group tries to keep out people who want to hurt the government with violence, that’s okay.
  • •The boss can’t treat workers badly or not hire them because of their race, religion, or skin color.

Example

A construction company only hires men and says women can’t join their worker team.

This is against the law. The company can’t say no to women just because they are women. They have to let anyone work there if they can do the job, no matter if they are a man or woman.
