§ 70121 Labor Contract Anti-Discrimination Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •No work deals can be made with groups that treat people unfairly because of things like race, religion, or gender.
  • •Work groups can't stop someone from joining just because they believe in using force to change the government.
  • •Your boss can't treat you differently at work because of things like your race, religion, or if you have a disability.

Example

A company only hires men and refuses to hire women for the same job.

This is against the law because the company is treating people unfairly based on their gender.
