RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
Racial discrimination in the workplace is illegal. It occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant differently based on their race, color, ethnicity, or national origin. This can manifest in various ways, including:
- Termination: Firing an employee without just cause due to their race, or subjecting them to harsher disciplinary actions than similarly situated employees of other races.
- Harassment: Subjected to offensive jokes, slurs, or other discriminatory behavior by coworkers or supervisors.
- Compensation: Receiving lower pay or fewer benefits than similarly situated employees of other races for the same work.
- Promotion: Being denied promotions or given less desirable assignments based on race.
- Hiring: Refusing to hire qualified candidates, offering them lower starting salaries, or passing them over for promotions.
What to Do if You Believe You’ve Experienced Racial Discrimination
If you believe you have been a victim of racial discrimination in the workplace, you should:
- Document everything. Keep records of any discriminatory incidents, including dates, times, locations, and the names of any witnesses. Save emails, text messages, and any other relevant documentation.
- Consult with an attorney. An experienced employment attorney can advise you on your legal rights and options. They can help you determine whether you have a valid claim and guide you through the legal process.
- File a complaint. You may be able to file a complaint internally or with the California Department of Civil Rights.
