  • 02Management knows about the conduct but does not stop it.
  • 03The conduct is tied to a protected characteristic or protected activity.

Does California law protect Oakland workers here?

Questions workers ask

Should I speak with an attorney about hostile work environment?

Consider speaking with an attorney when the facts involve money owed, job loss, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, leave denial, or a deadline. This site provides general information and intake support, not legal advice.

Does submitting the form make me a client?

No. Submitting information or using the intake assistant does not create an attorney-client relationship unless an attorney agrees to represent you in writing.
