What Is Race Discrimination Under Federal and California Law
California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and federal laws under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 make it illegal for employers to discriminate against certain protected classes such as racial or ethnic groups. Prohibited behavior includes:
- Treating a person differently than people in other racial or ethnic groups.
- Holding certain races to a higher standard.
- Adopting employment policies that have a disparate impact on certain groups.
The prohibited behavior you experience may include harassment or verbal abuse. Discrimination may also be subtle, such as disciplining employees unequally based on race or ethnicity, or job layoffs that have a disproportionate effect on certain groups.
If you think you have been the victim of race discrimination at your job, you do not have to put up with the behavior. The employment law attorneys of The Armstrong Law Firm may be able to obtain compensation and justice for the wrongs you have suffered. Call 408-465-5627 or contact us online.
