What It Takes To File an Employment Discrimination Case?
Daniel Schwartz with the Connecticut Employment Law Blog posted an excellent blog about the basics in filing an employment discrimination case. Mr. Schwartz is correct, a discrimination lawsuit or any lawsuit for that matter is really only a set of allegations made by one party against another party (individual or business). Nothing has to be proven to file a lawsuit. Yet, so often when discrimination cases are filed by employees against employers, it gets reported in the media.
Don’t waste your time talking about a lawsuit which may not even be true or have any merit. Instead do as Mr. Schwartz’s suggests, “. . . the next time you hear about a lawsuit being filed, check back in a few months or years to find out what happened to the lawsuit; that's when there's really news to report.”
