Race Discrimination

Do you feel disparate from all your other co-workers due to your race or color? Is this feeling aggravated by your employer’s discriminative acts? If so, our employment lawyers at Mesriani and Associates can defend your rights and gain the remedies provided for you under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that protects individuals from race discrimination practices of employers.

The aforementioned law provision safeguards the employees who belong to ethnic race or color, separate from the majority, from their abusive employers. This also includes protections against employment discrimination based on national origin, gender, disability or religion.

In particular, the law considers it illegal to single out employees in job application process, firing, promotion, task assigning, imparting benefits and privileges, compensation and implementing other company employment policies. To add, Title VII also forbids setting down operational procedures that are based on offensive assumptions about the capabilities and physical traits of employees belonging to racial groups.

Furthermore, it is also prohibited to impart equal employment opportunity only because a person is married or related to any individual of a distinct color. Thus, company policies regarding employment must not include certain standards that exclude people of different races.
