California law has some of the strictest protections for employees against workplace discrimination. Employers may not base any employment decisions on an employee’s:
If an employer refuses to hire or promote you, terminates you, or otherwise treats you unfairly because of a protected characteristic such as those above, it constitutes unlawful discrimination, and the law provides you with important rights to hold your employer accountable.

You need a lawyer who knows how to prove the discrimination you suffered and the recourse you deserve.
