Making a living is vital not only to our survival needs, but steady employment can also contribute to self worth and confidence. When employees are treated differently due to a personal characteristic such as sex, it is unfair and unjust. Therefore, it is not surprising that employment discrimination<\/a> is a major civil rights violation. The U.S. Supreme Court has tackled this issue on various occasions and strives to promote working conditions that allow employees to work without the threat of unfair treatment.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of U.S. Supreme Court cases involving employees’ rights and employment discrimination, including links to the full text of the U.S. Supreme Court decisions.<\/p>\n
