CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 12940 PROHIBITS MANY
FORMS OF EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
California Government Code Section 12940 prohibits
harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and adverse
employment actions based upon:
Race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry,
physical disability, mental disability, medical condition,
marital status, gender identification, sex, sexual
orientation, age, military or veteran status, and genetic
information.
As an employment discrimination lawyer California Government
Code Section 12940 is the legal source behind many of the
cases I represent employees in. Therefore, based thereupon, I
pulled over and took a picture of the odometer in my van last
night as it reached 12940!
