In Illinois, just like in any other state, the employer should not base hiring decisions on the employee’s protected class such as age, race, religion, sex, country of origin, and disability. It is illegal to ask questions which pertain to the details of a person’s protected class such as number of children, place of birth, sexual preference, and religious views. However questions that clarify legalities such as eligibility to work in the US or criminal record questions are acceptable given that they may affect the capability of the applicant to perform his or her job properly.

Police officers are considered to be vanguards of a city’s law and order. They are trained, appointed, and funded by the government to protect citizens from all forms of misconduct, violence, and crime. The most controversial aspect of their responsibilities is the authority to use force. They may use force to control and disperse a crowd, make an arrest, or perform other daily routines for surveillance. However this authority to use force should only be used within the boundaries necessary to resolve a certain disorder, other than that it attracts the attention of the public, the government, and the media as another case of police misconduct.

Are you being treated differently at work because you are pregnant?
Instead of a celebratory treatment, some pregnant women are subject to sex discrimination in the workplace. In 2006, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission has received 4,901 charges of sex related discrimination from pregnant women in the US. It goes to show that there are employers who don’t strictly practice the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978.

Do you think you may need a Phoenix civil rights attorney? Are you being harassed at work? Have you complained repeatedly, and are still not being taken seriously?
Many people who have been harassed at work are afraid to speak up. They have complained in the past, only to be told that if they do not like it, they can find a job somewhere else. Of course, they need their job, and especially in this time of financial difficulty, are afraid of losing it. So they keep quiet, and tolerate the harassment. These people should know that they have rights, and this is illegal.
