Understanding Workplace Discrimination in Whittier

Workplace discrimination in Whittier can take many forms, often making employees feel undervalued or unfairly targeted. This can include being passed over for promotions, receiving lower pay than colleagues doing the same job, or being subjected to harassment based on race, age, gender, or other protected characteristics.

Workplace discrimination in Whittier is a significant issue, especially as the city’s demographics and workforce continue to evolve. With a population that is 66.7% Hispanic and a labor force of approximately 42,200 people, discrimination based on race, age, and other factors is common.

In 2023, the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations reported a 45% increase in hate crimes, reflecting a broader trend that can spill over into the workplace. Age discrimination is particularly concerning, as 14.6% of Whittier’s residents are aged 65 and above.

Older workers are often unfairly targeted, facing barriers to promotions and being pushed out of jobs prematurely. In 2023, the EEOC reported 81,055 new discrimination claims, which marked a 10.3% increase in discrimination charges and wrongful termination complaints.

How Can I Be Compensated for Workplace Discrimination?

If you were mistreated while working at PIH Health, Whittwood Town Center, or anywhere in the Whittier Business District, you may be entitled to compensation. One option is having your attorney negotiate directly with your employer to reach a financial settlement that avoids further legal action.

Another route involves filing an administrative complaint through the California Civil Rights Department or the EEOC. If necessary, your case may proceed to civil court at the Whittier Courthouse on 7339 Painter Avenue.
