You know you have done a good job...but somehow, you weren't promoted or given a raise, or worse, you've been fired. Maybe you were too old or too pregnant, or a member of the "wrong" sex, religion, race, or ethnic group, or disabled by illness or a physical characteristic. Maybe your boss or another co-worker sexually harassed you and made your life miserable.

• Many millions of Americans have been downsized in the last decade. Some fight back—and win—like the salesman who was awarded $8.4 million after suing his employer for age discrimination.
  
• Sexual discrimination affects women—and men, too. Morgan Stanley recently paid $54 million to settle sexual discrimination claims: $12 million to the woman who was repeatedly denied high-level promotions; $40 million to be devided among as many as 340 additional females, and $2 million earmarked for a new diversity program.
  
• Racial misconduct cost Texaco $176 million, plus $20 million in legal fees, to settle the racial discrimination claims of 1,500 minority employees.
  
• Disability claims are on the rise. A blind person who sued for being denied a job was awarded $8 million dollars.

Whatever the legal grounds underlying such cases, there is no denying that early in the twenty-first century, job discrimination claims are burgeoning, and society and the legal system, employees and employers alike, will have to confront the issues, the legalities, and the possibilities of major jury awards and settlements.
