RACIAL SLURS AND OTHER HARASSMENT IS AGAINST THE LAW IN THE CA WORKPLACE
In California, employees have federal and CA law protecting them from racial discrimination and / or harassment. An employee's skin color is considered a 'covered' characteristic under the law. This means that whether you are black, white, Asian, or Hispanic, your employer cannot use your race as a reason to treat you adversely. Name calling, firing, demoting, or not promoting you are all examples of unlawful workplace behavior. If you have experienced any of this in your So Cal workplace, call an employment attorney today.
When a group of African American men at a local phone company were subjected to racially-motivated name-calling and slurs, as well as other forms of verbal abuse, they stood up for their rights as employees and took legal action. In California, you do not have to work in a racially hostile environment. In fact, if you are one of many employees who do work in such an environment, the law is on your side. Like the black men who sued their employer and won over $400,000 in damages, you could receive compensation for the harassment you have endured.
