What Steps Should I Take If I Am A Victim Of Race Discrimination At Work?

If you suspect you are experiencing racial discrimination at work, it's crucial to take immediate and strategic steps to protect your rights. 

Be sure to do the following:

  • Document every incident related to the discrimination. Keep a detailed record including dates, times, locations, the people involved, and the nature of each incident. Save any relevant emails, messages, or documents that could serve as evidence. 
  • Follow your company’s official complaint procedure, typically involving reporting the issue to your supervisor or human resources department. Ensure your complaint is in writing and keep a copy for your records. If the internal resolution is unsatisfactory or if you face retaliation, it may be time to seek legal advice. 
  • Consulting with an experienced employment attorney at Weiler Law PLLC can help you understand your rights and explore your options. At our firm, we can guide you through filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and pursuing legal action if necessary.

Remember, taking swift action not only helps in protecting your rights but also strengthens your potential case by showing your proactive stance against discrimination.
