Labor lawyers help employees of all levels including management. Besides the employee rights specified in the Labor Code, employees have rights under a variety of statutes including FEHA which deals with discrimination, laws pertaining to military leave, and healthcare whistle blower protections. The Labor Code provides rights about pay, meal breaks, rest breaks, prevailing wage, leave for sick days, to attend trials for domestic abuse, when serving on a jury.

Labor Unions; Ventura County Fair exhibit from an International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker's collection. The labor rights of union workers are different than a normal private sector employee. Generally, lawyers working on a contingency represent union workers in cases of employment discrimination including sexual harassment, pregnancy leaves, FMLA, disability, LGBT+ rights, race, ancestry, national origin, and ethnicity discrimination. Because union contracts speak to wages it may not be possible to maintain a private lawsuit utlizing the California Labor Code. Union workers planning to seek legal advice about wages are best advised to have their collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) handy.
