California wage and hour laws: http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSE/dlse.html discrimination: http://www.eeoc.gov retaliation: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/dlseDiscrimination.html wrongful termination: no such thing unless you are under contract that was breached or you were fired for discrimination, retaliation or taking part in a protected activity. Some examples of "protected activity" under the Labor Code include: Filing or threatening to file a claim or complaint with the Labor Commissioner. Taking time off from work to serve on a jury or appear as a witness in court. Disclosing or discussing your wages. Using or attempting to use sick leave to attend to the illness of a child, parent, spouse, domestic partner, or child of the domestic partner of the employee. Engaging in political activity of your choice. For complaining about safety or health conditions or practices. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Glossary.asp?Button1=P#protected%20activity as far as an attorney is concerned you need to follow ALL the steps in filing with the appropriate state and federal agencies before you seek to undertake a civil case. under federal law for discrimination you must file a complaint with the EEOC before you can file a private civil claim in federal court.
