/

In recent years, many people who work in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered due to harassment and discriminatory practices. If you have been adversely impacted by these practices, it is important to protect your legal rights.

New York Lawyers Fighting Discrimination Against Women in the Workplace

Many recent cases of pharmaceutical industry discrimination involve discriminatory practices against representatives who provide drug information and product samples to doctors.

Recent legal proceedings have brought to light patterns of discrimination against women and older drug company representatives. Complaints against pharmaceutical companies include allegations of:

  • Discouraging pregnancy
  • Ignoring complaints of sexual harassment
  • Passing over women for promotion and advancement
  • Passing over older employees for promotion and advancement

Isolated incidents are generally not enough to prove sexual discrimination. However, the prospects for legal success are greater when there is a systemic pattern of discrimination. This pattern seems to exist in many pharmaceutical companies.

Our pharmaceutical industry discrimination attorneys handle discrimination lawsuits on an individual basis and for multiple clients. We are experienced trial advocates with an in-depth understanding of the employment laws that govern pharmaceutical industry discrimination cases. Centrally based in New York City, we also have offices in Los Angeles, California.

Whistleblower Retaliation

Protecting You From Wrongful Termination and Employer Retaliation

Employees have the right to report legal and ethical violations made by their employers. Federal and state laws prohibit employers from retaliating against their employees for “blowing the whistle.”

If you have questions about whistleblower rights or have faced retaliation for blowing the whistle, the New York employment discrimination attorneys at Eisenberg & Baum are here to help. We have extensive experience handling employment litigation matters, and a proven record of success obtaining favorable results for our clients. Although centrally based in New York City, we also have offices in Los Angeles, California.

Wrongful Termination and Employee Whistleblower Law

Employer retaliation can consist of termination, demotion, failure to promote, a hostile work environment, and other adverse employment actions.

Whistleblowing lawsuits can arise when employees are retaliated against for:

  • Reporting instances of harassment or discrimination
  • Reporting illegal employer activities
  • Refusing to participate in illegal activities
  • Reporting business fraud
  • Reporting environmental violations
  • Assisting in an investigation of employer violations

Whistleblowing plays a vital role in protecting employees from harassment and discrimination, and holding companies responsible from legal and ethical violations that may hurt the public. If you have blown the whistle and are concerned about workplace retaliation, our New York whistleblower lawyers are here to protect your rights and help you explore your legal options.

State and Federal Sexual Harassment Law

State and federal laws protect workers from sexual harassment. All too often, however, these harmful practices persist, leaving employees to contend with unfair treatment, limited employment activities and physiological consequences. Unfortunately, many victims of sexual harassment are reluctant to come forth with a claim, fearing retaliation and job loss.

Sexual harassment claims are broken down into two general categories:

Quid pro quo

Claims in which an authority figure requests sexual favors in exchange for promotion, continued employment and other considerations.

Hostile work environment

Claims involving inappropriate behavior in the workplace, including sexual jokes, pictures and offensive acts.
