Description

Labor Code section 132a (section 132a) prohibits employers from discriminating against employees "who are injured in the course and scope of their employment." When an injury of this kind results in disability, we have held that section 132a prohibits discrimination based on the disability. (Judson Steel Corp. v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (1978) 22 Cal.3d 658, 667 (Judson Steel).) In addition, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code, § 12900 et seq. (FEHA)) prohibits various types of employment discrimination, including discrimination based on a disability. (Gov. Code, § 12921.) Finally, we have recognized a common law protection against certain types of discriminatory or retaliatory termination of employment. (Stevenson v. Superior Court (1997) 16 Cal.4th 880, 897 (Stevenson) [age discrimination]; Gantt v. Sentry Insurance (1992) 1 Cal.4th 1083, 1097 (Gantt) [retaliation for testifying truthfully]; Rojo v. Kliger (1990) 52 Cal.3d 65, 90-91 (Rojo) [sex discrimination]; Tameny v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (1980) 27 Cal.3d 167, 178 (Tameny) [retaliation for refusal to participate in an illegal price-fixing scheme].) This common law remedy for wrongful discharge arguably extends to disability discrimination, though we have not addressed the issue.
