WHITE, MEXICAN, AND BLACK OFFICERS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ON THE JOB.

In California, it is against the law for your employer; whether it is the state or local government, or a private business, to discriminate against you. Discrimination occurs when your employer treats you adversely because of your race, religion, nationality, age, or gender. Examples of adverse treatment due to race can include not promoting you, demoting you, firing you, or otherwise mistreating you because of the color of your skin. Talk to an experienced employment attorney if you have been discriminated against because of your race.

A group of police officers in South Gate, CA alleged discrimination at the hands of their supervisors. They were white, black, Latino and all had one thing in common: they allege that they were subjected to racial slurs and false internal affairs investigations, unfairly disciplined, and passed up for promotions all because of their race. These are all examples of workplace discrimination. The city settled with the police officers and they received several million dollars in damages.
