Workplace Discrimination


The following cartoons are presented as a parody to two types of discrimination that may go on in the work place: age discrimination and gender discrimination. These two are one of a few others that were barred with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Racial discrimination and discrimination against individuals with disabilities are two other largely protected forms of discrimination. Although the government has done much to prevent these types of discrimination, instances still exist. It is the duty of public sector organizations to uphold these laws to prevent any adverse reaction or consequence when worker's rights are violated. There is no easy solution to avoiding discrimination claims, there are hazy and grey areas and the laws can be vague, however employers must use their best judgment based on the definition of our laws and ensure that no violations occur.
