Few things are as central to our sense of well-being as the ability to provide for ourselves and our families. When companies unlawfully target workers based on their sex, gender, race, actual or perceived disability, family status, pregnancy, or other protected status they undermine that sense of well-being. Companies who engage in creating hostile work environments based on protected status, or who allow those hostilities to go unchecked, damage workers not just economically but also emotionally and psychologically and they should be held accountable in a court of law.
