Race Discrimination Law: Understanding Your Rights
Race discrimination can look different depending on where you work and your situation. Race discrimination is illegal in the workplace, and experiences can range from being refused employment, to suffering verbal abuse by coworkers to losing your job because of your race.
Employees in the state of Minnesota are protected under both local and federal laws when it comes to race discrimination in the workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in employment based on race. Further, The Minnesota Human Rights Act protect employees based on their inclusion in any of these protected classes:
- Race
- Color
- Creed
- Religion
- National origin
- Gender
- Marital status
- Disability
- Public assistance
- Age
- Sexual identity
- Gender identity
- Familial status
It is illegal be discriminated against based on any of these characteristics. It is important to understand your rights and speak with an attorney as soon as possible if you feel you have been subjected to race discrimination in an employment setting. We encourage all potential clients to keep a detailed log of events as they occur in the workplace that may demonstrate acts of race discrimination. If you are unsure whether you have been discriminated against based on race, give us a call today. Refer to our blog in Justice News called Race Discrimination in Race Discrimination in Today’s Modern Age for more information about workplace race discrimination.
