For many workplaces in Los Angeles, racial discrimination remains a painful reality.

With over 20 years of experience in navigating California employment law, the attorneys at Golan Law, P.C., are dedicated to fighting for equality in the workplace.

Common Examples Of Racial Discrimination

Racial discrimination in the workplace can be hard to pinpoint. It does not always involve overt or obvious prejudice. Some common examples include:

• Unfairly denying you promotions, raises or opportunities that you have earned
• Creating a hostile work environment through racial slurs, offensive jokes or repeated negative comments about your race or national origin
• Disciplining you more harshly or holding you to a higher standard than coworkers of a different race
• Giving you less desirable job assignments or duties
• Firing, demoting or punishing you for reporting discrimination

Recognizing these behaviors is the first step toward taking action and protecting your rights.

Understanding Your Rights As An Employee In California

The federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) ensure employers judge you on your skills and qualifications, not your race. These laws make it illegal for any employer to treat you unfairly because of your racial background or national origin.

Your employer has a clear legal duty to provide a workplace free from discrimination. This obligation means they cannot base hiring decisions, pay, promotions or job duties on your race. They must also take firm action to prevent and stop any form of racial harassment.

Enforcing these important rights can feel overwhelming when you are facing discrimination alone. Golan Law, P.C.’s knowledgeable lawyers are here to explain your legal options and help you move forward with confidence.
