Castronovo & McKinney, LLC represents employees in Bergen County, NJ who have experienced racial discrimination in the workplace. Our employment attorneys help workers protect their rights and pursue claims involving discrimination based on race, color, or national origin.
Racial discrimination is prohibited under both federal and New Jersey law. If your employer denied you a job, promotion, raise, equal pay, or other employment opportunities because of your race or ethnicity, you may have grounds for legal action. We represent clients in cases involving discriminatory hiring, unequal pay, wrongful termination, workplace harassment, retaliation, and other unlawful employment practices.
Our attorneys handle claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on race, color, or national origin. We assist clients with filing EEOC charges when appropriate and work to resolve cases through settlement or litigation when necessary.
We also represent employees under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), which provides broad protections against workplace discrimination. In many cases, the LAD allows employees to file a lawsuit without first submitting a complaint to the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights. We help clients determine the best legal strategy based on the facts of their case.
Common signs of racial discrimination in the workplace include:
- Being denied employment, promotions, raises, or other workplace benefits because of your race or ethnicity.
- Receiving lower pay or less favorable job assignments than employees performing similar work.
- Being excluded from training, advancement opportunities, or important projects because of your race.
- Being subjected to racial slurs, offensive comments, jokes, or other discriminatory conduct by supervisors, coworkers, or clients.
- Facing disciplinary action, demotion, or termination based on race or after reporting discriminatory treatment.
