Employment Law Discrimination

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects citizens from employment discrimination based on race, color, nationality, sex, or religion. Employers that violate the Civil Rights Act are taking part in employment law discrimination. Until 1991, there was no clear way for victims of intentional discrimination to receive compensation for damages they had suffered due to the inequity. On July 26, 1991, President George Bush signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1991, a bill that provided legal grounds for individuals to seek monetary compensation for damages.
