Race Discrimination

racial discrimination

While racial discrimination in the workplace is far less common than it was 50 to 75 years ago, it nonetheless still exists and remains a condition that society will not tolerate. As we spend so much of our lives at our places of employment, the perception of racial discrimination in the workplace is a particularly unwanted and unpleasant experience. Fortunately, both federal and Idaho State laws provide protection against racial discrimination. No matter your race, you are fully protected by such laws.

Today, racial discrimination can come in many different forms. In a company where no single racial group predominates, it can occur in the company’s unwillingness to take appropriate actions after learning that your immediate supervisor is discriminating against you because of a dislike of your racial origins. Alternatively, it might be more subtle, such as the perceived feelings of discrimination felt by a lone African American working at a company with an overwhelming Caucasian workforce or those experienced by an Asian American working in a company where African Americans predominate. No matter the reason or cause of race discrimination, whether it comes from a group of employees whom management chooses not to confront after receiving discrimination complaints, or from a single manager or supervisor unfairly targeting an individual due to race, intentional discrimination based on race is not only emotionally scarring and hurtful, but it is also illegal.

If you live in Idaho and you believe that you have been a victim of racial discrimination, your first move should be to contact a law firm that specializes in race discrimination law in the workplace. Fortunately, such a firm exists in Boise, Idaho Employment Law Solutions. Headed by Lieutenant Colonel USMC (Ret.) R.A.(Ron) Coulter, Esq., the firm specializes in these related fields of the law, and for a small initial consultation fee, we will give you a preliminary estimate concerning whether you may have a potential racial discrimination claim.

WHAT IS RACE DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE?

Race discrimination in the workplace occurs when, due to your race, you are treated unfairly by your employer and are subjected to an adverse employment action. The adverse employment action can arise from any phase of your employment, including but not limited to your hiring, training, job assignments, salary, fringe benefits, applications for promotions, layoffs or termination.

If he and his firm determine that you have been discriminated against because of your race, they will work tirelessly on your behalf and guide you through the complex legal process. You could ask for no better advocate to protect your legal rights.

I was involved in an administrative procedure which could have ultimately led to my termination of employment. I contacted Idaho Employment Law Solutions which is owned and operated by Ron Coulter, a career U.S. Marine Corps Officer. The qualities that impressed me most about Ron, was that nothing was “sugar coated”, Ron was up-front, straight forward, and Ron told me what to expect at each phase of the administrative process. When I asked a question, Ron always took care to provide a complete answer which very often included a follow-up legal analysis that a lay person could understand. Ron is an outstanding and experienced employment law attorney. He was reassuring and effective in his representation of me in this administrative procedure. There is no doubt, that the selection of Idaho Employment Law Solutions was the correct choice
