BLACK CONSTRUCTION WORKER SUES EMPLOYER FOR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION: LOS ANGELES EMPLOYEES SHOULD CALL AN EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY

Unfortunately, racial discrimination is still prevalent in the California workplace. This does not make it legal. In fact, California and federal law protect employees of all race and color from being discriminated at work by their employee or a co-worker. If someone you work with is treating you adversely because you are black, white, Asian, Hispanic, etc… call an experienced employment lawyer.

When an African American construction worker was locked in a tool shed and called various discriminatory names while on the job, he took legal action. His co-worker allegedly also spray-painted the shed door with the word “Jail.” The same co-worker also put a hangman’s noose around the black employee’s neck, hung the noose in his work area, and threatened to decapitate him. According to the black man’s lawsuit, the construction company suspended him after he complained about the noose and rewarded the offender with a higher-paying position. If true, this is certainly workplace discrimination.
