Fighting Employee Mistreatment Based On Race, Color, Ethnicity or Nationality
America is the land of opportunity, where all men and women are to be treated equally. Unfortunately, in a world where terrorism and border protection are at the forefront of media coverage, many people of certain races or ethnic groups are treated unfairly in their everyday life, including in their employment.

Pursuing Accountability for Racial and Ethnic Discrimination or Harassment
Both federal and California laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA") prohibit employers from treating employees differently due to their color, race, ethnicity, nationality or other protected class membership. Employers are also prohibited by law from making decisions based upon alleged stereotypes associated with particular race or ethnic groups, or upon an employee's association with an individual of a protected class.
Employees who are discriminated against or wrongfully harassed in the workplace may file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) for investigation into the matter. Our San Francisco racial discrimination lawyers at Adams | Nye | Becht LLP have extensive experience in advocating for employees who have been subjected to wrongful treatment and work diligently to help them recover the full compensation to which they are entitled for their hardships. We work hard to send messages to employers that racial and ethnic discrimination are never acceptable in the workplace.
- Racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination: Did your employer discriminate against you in hiring, firing, promotions, compensation or otherwise due to your race or ethnic background? Do employment policies disproportionately exclude minorities in matters that are not job-related? You may have a claim for employment discrimination.
- Racial harassment and ethnic harassment: Did your employer fail to take measures to prevent workplace harassment or did your employer allow you to be exposed to a hostile work environment where your coworkers repeatedly exposed you to racial slurs, "jokes," or other abusive conduct that is so severe or pervasive that it affects your ability to work? You may have a claim for employment harassment.
