New White Paper: Fighting Unequal Pay for Women

It seems that women making less than men for the same skills and performance has been a problem throughout this country’s history. Although everyone should know that paying women less than men is illegal and unethical, the practice continues.

However, recent California case law is opening the door for women in the workplace to bring successful claims against employers who engage in this practice. Our new white paper: Opening Doors: A New Way To Protect Women’s Rights In Equal Pay Actions, addresses these issues and will help you understand your rights and options.

Fighting For Your Rights

Equal pay for equal work is a fundamental right that women have been denied for far too long. With the recent case law coming out of California, there is new hope for women to bring civil claims, claims that would have been denied previously.

At the Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman, P.C., our attorneys fight to protect women in the workplace from all forms of harassment and discrimination, including unequal pay. It is important for you to understand the basics of the law and to know how to protect your rights. We can help.
