Religion Discrimination – Case Example

Bree was subjected to religious harassment and a hostile work environment during her employment. A co-worker repeatedly harassed Bree on a regular basis by making insulting comments about her religion—Mormonism.

Bree experienced humiliation, anxiety, and embarrassment as a result of the repeated offensive conduct. Bree and others complained to management about the misconduct.

But, instead of trying to cure the religious harassment as required by law, management did nothing and let it continue unabated.

The harassment was so severe that it created a hostile and abusive work environment that caused Bree severe emotional distress.

California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits an employer, including any supervisor, from harassing an employee based on their religion or creating a hostile work environment because of their religion. We helped Bree get justice for the harassment she endured.
