What would you like to see on an Employment Law blog?
I’ve started a UK employment law blog. There are lots of people on here interested in their rights at work, and I know a fair bit about it. Have a look and tell me what you think, but what I’d really like people to do is suggest what subjects I should tackle.

I should say I’ve posted this question before, but as I did it in the middle of the night I didn’t get too many answers!
Hi i think you should know even if you did post it in the middle of the night it was prob the middle of the day or something for others on here but the mere fact you have ‘employment law’ in your title is what puts them off people think law as confusing and boring most don’t really know what its about!
As a law student i think its great i can get all my Friends to read it if you like ha ha! I like the way it chats to you and explains things alot more simply than if you were to just search it on the search engines. Alot of people on here complain about being mistreated or fired for wrong reasons some even complain about sexual harassment e.c.t you might gain by posting a link to your site to their questions since most people just tell them to phone citizens advice.

Getting wrongfully terminated from a job is nothing anyone wants to go through. It is a big hassle that can leave you feeling tired, worn out, and dissatisfied with the world around you. But hiring a quality lawyer in San Diego to take your wrongful termination case can really help get you back to normal and to secure for yourself the settlement that you deserve.
One of the great things about an attorney that will take a wrongful termination case is that they will normally take it because they think that they can win. They will have the best kind of incentive to make sure that you win the case – a financial one. Most of the time, your lawyer won’t get paid unless you win the case because they take these types of cases on a contingency basis, meaning that if they win the case they get a portion of the settlement.
Chances are if they take the case you are likely to be in the right legally speaking and this can be nothing but good for you. Most lawyers will even see you for a free consultation to make sure that your case has some merit before they sign up to be your legal counsel.
However, it is prudent to know what some of the reasons are that you might be able to have a successful suit against your San Diego county employer. Since jobs in California as a whole are what are legally called “at will” – meaning that at any time for any reason an employee or employer can end the worker-boss contract – making sure that you were terminated wrongfully is in fact very technical.
You are not wrongfully terminated just because you feel like your firing was unfair. There has to be a clear violation of federal or state law for you to have a claim against your former employer in a court of law.
Once you have determined that you were in fact wrongfully terminated, contacting a legal professional is the important next step. They will help you decide if you have a case to argue in court. Again, the lawyer and attorneys that you speak to will definitely want to take your case if they think you stand a strong chance of winning in court because it means that they are going to make some good money so really listen to them.
If you are dissatisfied with what you hear you can always go get a second opinion from another lawyer. Just remember that you want to look for a lawyer who has experience with wrongful termination cases, especially with those of the same variety as yours. If you were fired because of your sexual orientation or because of your use of legal maternity leave then you want to find an attorney that has experience trying and winning cases with similar backgrounds.
Also be sure that your lawyer is easy to work with and kind, you definitely don’t want to hire someone who only wants your case for the money and does not care about helping you achieve justice and have your employment rights recognized.
Feminism is concerned with gender inequalities in society and the equal rights for women. This encases social, cultural and political movements, theories and moral philosophies that affect women in everyday life. Feminism also takes up the fight against other forms of discrimination.
Some feminists argue that “gendered and sexed identities, such as ‘man’ and ‘woman’ are social constructs, meaning that some gender roles are socially conditioned rather than innate.”
For many people the feminist movement came in three waves starting from the 19th century to the present day.
The first wave occurred between the 19th and early 20th centuries, starting in the United Kingdom and United States. Their main concerns were with equal contract and property rights for women.
The Suffrage movement began at the end of the 19th century, with the main focus being on gaining political power and the right for women to vote.
The second was during the 1960’s and 1970’s were cultural and political inequalities were bound together as problem faced by women.
The beginning of the third wave started in the early 1990’s to the present day and slams the failure of the second wave. They deem the previous wave to be too focused on the upper middle class white women’s views and experiences.
It was argued and still is that through the history of feminism the majority of the leaders have been white middle class women from Western Europe or North America.
Thus alienating women of different colours and races, which was stated in a speech given to US Feminists by ex black slave “Sojourner Truth” in 1851. Sojourner purports that as a black woman she is viewed as even lower than white woman.
Women of other races set up alternative feminist groups which gained more followers in the 1960’s civil rights movement in the United States.
Post-colonial and Third World feminism proposed alternatives, with the post-colonial feminist slamming western feminism for being ethnocentric. The definition of ethnocentrism will be discussed in a later article.
In the 1980’s feminists realised that an understanding of global issues that also effect women of different races, colours and cultural was essential to understanding gender inequality. In turn this would show that racism, homophobia and classis are intrinsic in society and how they control women.
The Feminist political activists have challenged and brought women issues to the forefront of people’s concentions while also creating debate. They changed laws in women right to contract and property and the right to bodily integrity and autonomy. This includes the right for a woman to have an abortion and the right to take and access contraception.
Furthermore they are advocates for the protection of women from domestic violence, rape and sexual harassment. Also rights for women in the workplace and the legal right for maternity leave and equal pay.
