If you’re working in Union City and facing unfair treatment at your job, know this—you have legal rights, and you don’t have to face the battle alone. New Jersey has some of the strongest employment protections in the country, and NJ Employment Lawyers, LLC is committed to helping Union City employees enforce those rights when employers cross the line.
Discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation can not only affect your paycheck—they can take a toll on your mental health and career future. Our attorneys work closely with clients throughout Hudson County to identify workplace violations, hold employers accountable, and recover compensation when laws have been broken.
Understanding Your Employment Law Rights
New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) protects workers from bias based on:
- Race and national origin
- Gender and sexual orientation
- Pregnancy and parental status
- Disability or medical conditions
- Religion
- Age
Additionally, employees are protected from retaliation if they report discrimination, harassment, wage violations, or unsafe conditions. If your employer has punished you for speaking up or asserting your rights, that’s illegal—and you have options.
Workplace Violations in Union City
Union City’s diverse workforce spans education, retail, health services, and transportation—industries where employment law violations can and do occur. Some of the most common issues our firm sees include:
- Being fired or demoted after requesting family or medical leave
- Receiving unequal pay compared to coworkers doing the same job
- Being overlooked for promotions despite strong performance
- Facing verbal abuse or harassment related to race, gender, or religion
- Being classified as an “independent contractor” to avoid paying benefits
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, it’s time to consult with an attorney who understands local employment law and has experience taking action.
