Fighting Workplace Discrimination in Tennessee: Your Rights & How We Can Help

No one should face discrimination in the workplace. Yet across Tennessee, employees continue to be mistreated based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics. At Manson Johnson Conner, PLLC, we have a long tradition of standing up for justice—and we’re here to fight for you.

What Counts as Workplace Discrimination?

Both federal and Tennessee laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees for certain reasons. Workplace discrimination can include:

• Denying promotions or raises because of race, gender, or age

• Unequal pay for the same work

• Retaliation after reporting misconduct

• Harassment or hostile work environments

• Failure to provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities

Recognizing the Signs

Discrimination is not always obvious. It may show up in subtle patterns, such as:

• Being passed over for projects or training opportunities

• Constant criticism not given to other employees

• Sudden demotion or termination after filing a complaint

We combine legal skill with a deep commitment to equality—something that has defined our firm’s history for nearly 50 years.
