This review is from: Job Discrimination II: How to Fight, How to Win (Paperback)

This quick-and-easy read provided me with the ammunition I needed to combat and overcome injustice in my workplace. This book helped me to not only learn my rights, but also to gather my courage during a difficult and trying time. Anyone who suffers from discrimination, or thinks they are suffering from discrimination, should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Members of the Workforce, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Job Discrimination II: How to Fight, How to Win (Paperback)

With all of the recent attention paid to employment discrimination in the media and in the courts, I thought I should read Job Discrimination II. I'm really glad I did. I now feel like an expert on the law and I am fully armed with the information I need if I should ever have problems at work. So far I haven't had any problems but I have some friends who have. I recommended this book to all of them. Bernbach manages to illuminate the reader on all aspects of employment law without ever sounding like a legal textbook. He also provides many examples from real life situations that make the book enjoyable as well as informative. This is a must read for anyone who works for a living.

3.0 out of 5 stars How to Fight, NOT How to Win, December 4, 2003

This review is from: Job Discrimination II: How to Fight, How to Win (Paperback)

Bernbach's book is a useful primer on the mechanics of considering whether to file and how to file a discrimination based legal action. In that regard, it is practical and useful. It therefore fulfills one of its subtitle's promises - How To Fight.

It does not substantively address the second promise - How to Win which is why I only give it 3 stars. While its case comments (not really studies) are interesting, there is little or no discussion of what can determine the ultimate success or failure of a legal action. For age discrimination cases, there is a much better book by Raymond F. Gregory titled "Age Discrimination in the American Workplace - Old at a Young Age." This book is very helpful in determining what it takes to win and presents more complete case studies in illustrating the important legal points and trends. This book, also available on Amazon, is not as procedural, so can best be considered an adjunct to rather than a substitute for Bernbach's book.
