BLACK EMPLOYEE HARASSED AT WORK SUES FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES.

California and federal labor law prohibit your CA employer from discriminating against you because of your race, religion, nationality, sex or gender, sexual orientation, or age. In addition, your co-workers cannot discriminate against you for any of these reasons and once you inform your employer of this unlawful behavior, it is up to your employer to put an end to it. If you have reported adverse treatment, or discrimination, to your CA employer and you are still being victimized by such illegal behavior, call an experienced employment attorney.

When a black woman at a large appliance manufacturing company was repeatedly sexually and racially harassed by a fellow co-worker, she reported the unlawful treatment to her supervisors, four of them in fact. However, the alleged discrimination and harassment continued and the woman was ultimately physically assaulted by her co-worker. The company should have stopped the harassment and discrimination before it got to a physical point. As a result of the treatment she received at the hands of her co-worker, and her employers unwillingness to prevent the abuse, she sued her employer for hundreds of thousands and won $300,000 in damages with the help of an employment lawyer.
