Common Forms of Racial Discrimination
Racial discrimination at work can include:
- Denial of hiring opportunities due to race or ethnicity
- Unequal pay or poor working conditions based on race
- Lack of training or advancement opportunities for certain racial groups
- Tolerating racially inappropriate language or behavior
Employers are prohibited from making employment decisions based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. At Castronovo & McKinney, we are dedicated to fighting racial injustice in the workplace.
Understanding the Laws Protecting Against Racial Discrimination
Both federal and New Jersey state laws prohibit racial discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal for employers with 15 or more employees to discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Often, filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is required before pursuing a lawsuit. Our attorneys are well-versed in navigating these legal processes to achieve favorable results for our clients.
Additionally, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) provides further protections. Unlike Title VII, the LAD may allow you to bypass administrative steps and file directly in state court. Our firm is prepared to handle both negotiation and litigation, ensuring the best possible outcome for you.
