RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT WORK SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED – CONTACT SILICON VALLEY EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS
Racial discrimination at work is against both federal and California law. It is illegal to discriminate in the “terms and conditions of employment” by race or color. “Terms and conditions” includes things such as salary, vacation time, promotions, demotions, title, etc. “Race” is often defined as an individual’s ancestry or ethnic characteristics.
Unfortunately, racial discrimination is all too common in the workplace. Recently, a company called N-M Ventures has agreed to pay $457,500 in order to settle a racial discrimination suit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of eight black employees. It is alleged that these employees were forced to deal with racial epithets and insults on several occasions.
All individuals are protected by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that prohibits racial discrimination.
