Kansas City Employment Law Attorneys – specializing in Wrongful Termination & Employment Discrimination 

The Popham Law Firm has been protecting worker’s rights for decades.  Our lawyers are long-time members of the National Employment Lawyers Associations and Dennis Egan has served on the National Board of NELA.  He also founded the Kansas City Chapter of NELA, and served as its President for many years.  Bert Braud has also served in several offices in KC-NELA, most recently as its President.   Popham lawyers keep abreast of frequent changes in this area of the law, and play an active role in making sure local, state and federal laws continue to protect hard workers in our community.

Employment discrimination takes many forms.  Sometimes it’s sexual harassment or race discrimination.  It can be age discrimination, or discrimination based on religion or national origin.  Women who do the same work as men are protected by equal pay laws, and women have certain rights when they are pregnant.  Workers with disabilities also have rights, as do workers who must take time off for illness or to care for a family member.

Workers sometimes suffer retaliation because they exercised their rights under the law.  If you make a claim of discrimination, you have the right to be free from retaliation by your employer.  If you exercise your right to file a claim for worker’s compensation, your employer cannot take action against you.  And, if you blow the whistle on the illegal conduct of your employer, you should be protected.
