Discrimination is illegal in Massachusetts, as it is in the rest of the United States. Both federal and state laws prohibit discrimination in various areas, including employment, public accommodations, and housing. Discrimination can take many forms, including harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination.
Massachusetts law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and genetic information. The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) is responsible for enforcing the state's anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. Employees who believe they have been discriminated against can file a complaint with the MCAD.
The MCAD investigates the complaint and may hold a hearing to determine if discrimination occurred. If the MCAD finds that discrimination did occur, it can order the employer to pay damages to the employee.
Discrimination in public accommodations is also illegal in Massachusetts. Public accommodations include places such as restaurants, hotels, and retail stores.
