Reviews

Last year consumer advocate David Horowitz roused employees whose rights had been violated to Fight Back! At Work. Horowitz may have been effective in spurring one to action, but Bernbach's measured approach lays out clearly what actions should be taken. Bernbach, who specialized in labor law, with more than a quarter century's experience, devotes separate chapters to age discrimination, sex discrimination, sexual harassment, discrimination against the disabled, and discrimination based on race, religion, and national origin.

With the Hill-Thomas hearings and the massive layoffs of recent years, recognition of job-related bias as an issue has skyrocketed. Lawyer Bernbach has represented both Fortune 500 companies and employees in job discrimination cases for 26 years and now offers that expertise to all. Suggesting that causes for job termination may be legitimate, he counsels that age, sex, disability, or minority group status are areas where job bias exists and might be the cause for the firing. He devotes a chapter to each of these situations to illuminate the differences between legitimate and questionable terminations. Using some of his cases as examples, he reveals the process for filing a claim and warns what not to do or say to the employer. In addition to telling how to file a claim, he clarifies four myths about job-related lawsuits: a lawyer is unaffordable, you can't take on a corporate giant, you will be blackballed, or it will take years to settle. The book is concise, is full of interesting cases, and provides valuable how-to information. Recommended for all libraries.?Joshua Cohen, Mid-Hudson Lib. System, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
