Eliminate Race Discrimination in Your Workplace
There are many laws that have been enacted to help root out race discrimination in the workplace, both on the federal level (42 USC § 1981, Title VII) and under Massachusetts law (G.L. c. 151B; Mass. Equal Rights Act).
Race discrimination can take many forms. From job interviews using discriminatory criteria to firings because of an employee’s race, race discrimination can occur at any time during the employment relationship. Sometimes employees are harassed based on their race. In other circumstances, differential treatment or discriminatory action taken by the employer results in a specific harm to the employee. Such injuries may take the form of pay discrepancies (base, commissions or bonuses), unfair performance reviews or discipline, or wrongful termination.
