We Fight for the People Who Are Already Fighting

A cancer diagnosis changes everything. And for most people, one of the first fears that surfaces – right alongside the medical ones – is what happens to their job.

That fear is legitimate. Employment isn’t just income. It’s health insurance, routine, and a sense of normalcy when everything else feels out of control. It’s also, unfortunately, one of the areas where people get taken advantage of when they’re at their most vulnerable.

Labor Law PC is a California employment litigation firm that represents employees exclusively. We handle wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, and disability-related workplace violations – and a meaningful part of that work involves people navigating serious health conditions while trying to hold onto their careers. We help clients understand their rights around medical leave, work through the accommodation process, and take action when employers cross the line.

That’s why we were proud to sponsor the Cancer and Careers West Coast Conference. Their mission and ours point in the same direction: they provide education, resources, and community to people balancing work with a cancer diagnosis; we provide legal protection when things go wrong. Together, that’s a fuller picture of what real support looks like.

This work is also personal. Our founder Danny Yadidsion’s perspective is shaped in part by his wife, Dr. Sandra Algaze, an oncologist at USC. Being close to patient care – seeing firsthand what people carry while in treatment – deepens something we already believe: how an employer treats someone during a health crisis reveals who they really are. When they get it wrong, there should be consequences.

If you’re facing something like this and you’re uncertain where you stand at work, we’re here to talk. You shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
