Labor & Employment Attorney in Tampa on Pregnancy and Discrimination

The Florida Supreme Court recently ruled that relief can be sought under the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 by pregnant women who are discriminated against by their employers. Although the statutes do not enumerate that pregnant women are protected under this law, it has been made clear in the ruling of the Florida Supreme Courts, that pregnancy is unique to the female sex, therefor harrassing or discrimination against pregnant women, is indeed considered sex discrimination. In the case of Delva v. Continental Group, Inc., the Third District Court of Appeals had previously ruled that Florida law did not prohibit pregnancy discrimination. This new ruling confirms the long held belief by many Tampa Bay Labor and Employment Lawyers, that in fact pregnant women who had been discriminated against could seek relief under the FCRA of 1992.

Pregnancy and Discrimination Lawsuits - Discriminating against a pregnant women by your Florida employer is illegal. 

Employment discrimination of a pregnant women occurs when an employer discriminates against someone. This could be during hiring or with regards to obtaining promotions or monetary compensation (wages) but also can occur if your job requirements suddenly change and if you are terminated without cause. If you believe you have been a victim of discrimination in the workplace and need a Tampa discrimination attorney, contact Lubliner Law Firm. Denise P. Lubliner can assist you with pregnancy and sex discrimination lawsuits as well as other discrimination issues in the workplace such as those regarding age, sex, disability, veteran status, religious discrimination and race discrimination in the workplace.


My Tampa Bay Employer Claims to be an Equal Opportunity EmployerMany employers may truly believe they are not discriminating against employees under the EEOC laws. The truth is, is that they may not have a full understanding of what is required of  employers under these laws. Whether your employer is blatantly discriminating against you or simply misunderstanding what their role is in abiding by discrimination laws you should leave this up to the courts to determine.  Either way, if you believe you have been discriminated against or have been harassed by your employer in the Tampa Bay area and would like to consult with a Tampa labor and employment lawyer, contact Lubliner Law Firm for a consultation and to determine the best course of action to take.

What to Look for in a Tampa Labor and Employment Attorney


Tampa Labor & Employment Attorneys

Choosing a Tampa Labor and Employment Attorney can be difficult. There are many lawyers in Tampa bay to choose from. Hiring the right lawyer in Tampa to represent you in your labor and employment lawsuit is crucial to a favorable outcome. Employers or employees in Florida who are experiencing employment disputes, are often also experiencing anger, shock and dismay-- Some from either losing their job or feeling taken advantage of and others who are experiencing shock over having an employee file a lawsuit against them.

The first thing you should do is try to remain calm and organized. When you consult with a labor and employment attorney in Tampa you should be able to give them as much cohesive information as you can about your case. Remember however that you are interviewing an attorney to represent you, so you want to make sure that your lawyer will be the very best Tampa labor and employment attorney, suited for your particular needs.

For instance, do you want the attorney that you consult with to be the one who will actually be representing you and speaking to you about your case? Many times there are so many lawyers within one law firm and this can lead to make a client feel like they aren't getting the attention they deserve. This might not bother you at all and you may prefer this type of firm with many lawyers. Again, finding the best Tampa labor and employment lawyer will depend much on what you believe will be a good fit for you or your company.

Asking yourself what qualifications and qualities will you want your lawyer to bring to the table, will help you find the right lawyer for you. Legal fees and cost is generally a factor when a client needs legal services, so be sure to understand your lawyer's fee schedule.
