Fighting Race-Based Discrimination in the Workplace: Know Your Rights
No one should have to endure racism in the workplace. Yet, too often, employers and supervisors engage in racial discrimination, harassment, and retaliation—blocking opportunities, creating hostile work environments, and wrongfully terminating employees based on race.
If you have experienced racial discrimination or harassment at work, you have legal rights. At Qureshi Law, we aggressively fight for employees who have been mistreated because of their race. Call us today at (213) 786-3478 for a free, confidential consultation.
What Does Race-Based Discrimination Look Like?
Under California and federal law, employees are protected from racial discrimination in hiring, promotions, discipline, and termination. Unfortunately, many companies ignore these protections, allowing racism to thrive. Race-based discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, including:
Racial Harassment – Supervisors or coworkers using racial slurs, offensive jokes, or engaging in racist behavior that creates a hostile work environment.
Unfair Discipline & Termination – Employers targeting Black or other minority employees for discipline, write-ups, or termination at higher rates than others.
Discriminatory Promotions & Pay – Employees of color being passed over for promotions, denied raises, or paid less than their white counterparts.
Retaliation for Speaking Out – Employees who report racism facing retaliation, including demotion, reassignment, or wrongful termination.
Failure to Prevent Discrimination – Employers failing to address racially hostile work environments, allowing discrimination to continue unchecked.
Our firm has handled cases where Black employees were harassed, demoted, and wrongfully terminated, despite their strong performance. We hold racist employers accountable.
