Race Discrimination

Pennsylvania Race Discrimination Lawyers

Federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, protect employees from discrimination on the basis of their race or national origin.  In addition, state laws, such as the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), also prohibit religious discrimination.  These laws make it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees because of their race and from making employment decisions based on:  1) Race (Caucasian, Black, African American, Hispanic, Asian); 2) Ancestry, birthplace or culture; 3) Linguistic characteristics and 4) Surnames that may be associated specific countries.. Race discrimination may include being harassed, subjected to a hostile work environment, fired, demoted or otherwise being treated differently because of your race or national origin. If you have faced racial discrimination at work or believe you have been terminated, denied employment or a promotion because of your race, you need an experienced employment lawyer.
