Discrimination on the Job Based on Racial or Ethnic Characteristics

If you believe you are a victim of employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin, you are encouraged to contact an employment law attorney at the law offices of Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel to schedule a case evaluation.

While racial discrimination on the job tends to be more subtle than was the case in past generations, it still exists in many workplaces. You may believe that you were denied an interview, promotion, raise, or job offer for reasons of racial or ethnic identity. International companies doing business in the United States sometimes fail to demonstrate a full understanding of the scope of California and federal laws, which in part state as follows:

(a) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer--

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or

(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

(b) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employment agency to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to discriminate against, any individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, or to classify or refer for employment any individual on the basis of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
