With the goal of educating the community about their rights and
responsibilities from a legal perspective, CAIR civil rights attorneys
present information about the rights of individuals as employees in this
interactive workshop. The workshop will cover the specific laws that protect
individual’s employment rights, outline religious accommodations in the
workplace, discuss fairness in hiring/firing/promotions, and provide concrete
steps and resources on how to deal with workplace discrimination. This
presentation includes an interactive PowerPoint presentation followed by a
Q&A session. After the workshop, participants will know basic civil rights
laws and their application and be empowered to contact CAIR to report a
complaint should they ever be faced with a challenge.
