CRG: Family Caregiver Protection in the workplace seems weak, as opposed to sex discrimination, etc.
“Q: Are caregivers a protected group under the federal EEO statutes?
A: No. The federal EEO statutes do not prohibit discrimination based solely on parental or other caregiver status. Under the federal EEO laws, discrimination must be based on a protected characteristic such as sex or race. However, some state or local laws may provide broader protections for caregivers. A particular caregiver also may have certain rights under other federal laws, including the Family and Medical Leave Act. ”
