Racial Harassment

Race Discrimination: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars employers from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of an individual's race. Different types of race discrimination include: racial harassment, failure to hire or promote, creation of a racially hostile work environment, and termination due to race.

Racial Harassment and a Hostile Work Environment: Signs of a racially hostile work environment include nooses, graffiti, and racial slurs and epithets.

Failure to Hire and Promote: A preponderance of individuals of the same race being hired or promoted by an employer can evince race as a motivating factor in employment decisions.

Termination Due to Race: If race was a motivation in a decision to terminate an employee, this can constitute a wrongful termination.

If you have been discriminated against on the basis of your race, contact Joseph, Herzfeld, Hester & Kirschenbaum today at (866) 348-7394.
