RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT WORK IS ILLEGAL – CALL SAN FRANCISCO EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS FOR HELP

California and Federal law protects employees against racial discrimination on what they define as the “terms and conditions” of employment which include hiring, firing, promotions, and salary among other things. “Race” is often defined as a person’s ethnic background or racial characteristics.

If you have been discriminated at work based on your race, you should know that it is against the law. However, this is not a rare occurrence. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has recently brought suit against J.C. Penny on behalf of Reinell Singh an African American who had worked at the store. The suit alleges that Singh was discriminated against as his supervisor repeatedly referred to him with racial epithets.
