1. As a general rule, the law does not require employers to treat workers fairly. The only way you will be able to use the law to prevent further unfair treatment or to remedy past unfair treatment is if the employer violated a specific legal right.
For example, an employer may not treat a worker unfairly because of the worker's race/color, national origin, ancestry, age (over 40), sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, or because the worker complained about discrimination or discriminatory harassment.
