Race Discrimination

America has grappled with inclusiveness of different races in the workplace since its inception of a slavery-based industrial labor system. This struggle even today continues to affect most American workplaces –racism remains rampant in our factories, law firms, and hospitals. While the unemployment rate for the average American is 9.0 percent, for African-Americans, the unemployment rate approximates anywhere from 20% to 50% depending on location in the country. Over the past decade, corporate and government managers alike have frequently asserted lack of cultural or organizational “fit” as means to justify maintaining illegal racial biases against non-whites in hiring and firing in the American workplace.

We believe that all persons have the right to be treated fairly at work, regardless of their race, and that the law recognizes discrimination against any American based on his or her race. As Americans, we have fought and died to establish and protect these rights, which protect all Americans. When you encounter racial discrimination during your employment interview, or later, while working in your job, contact us immediately to help you investigate it and vigorously fight against it.
