In a cause of action for employment discrimination under the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), a plaintiff may file an action against an employment agency or employment labor organization for unlawful employment practices. An "employment agency" is any person regularly undertaking, with or without compensation, to procure employees for an employer or to procure for employees opportunities to work for an employer, and includes an agent of such a person. A "labor organization" is any organization existing for the purpose, in whole or in part, of the collective bargaining or of dealing with employers concerning grievances, terms, or conditions of employment or other mutual aid or protection in connection with employment. To establish a cause of action for employment discrimination on the basis of unlawful employment practices of an employment agency or labor organization, the plaintiff must prove the following unlawful practices:

• To exclude or to expel from its membership otherwise to discriminate against any individual because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or marital status;
• To limit, segregate, or classify its membership or applicants for membership, or to classify or fail or refuse to refer for employment any applicants for membership, or to classify or fail or refuse to refer for employment any individual, in any way that would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or adversely affect any individual's status as an employee or as an applicant for employment because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or marital status; or
• To cause or attempt to cause an employer to discriminate against an individual in violation of this statute.
