No one should be treated differently because of their race—but sadly, racial discrimination in the workplace remains a persistent issue. In Fairfield Township and across New Jersey, employees continue to face unfair treatment, harassment, and bias that violate their basic rights. At Castronovo & McKinney, LLC, our attorneys are committed to Protecting Your Rights and taking powerful legal action against employers who violate anti-discrimination laws.

What Is Racial Discrimination?

Racial discrimination occurs when an employee or job applicant is treated unfavorably because of their race, skin color, or characteristics associated with race. It may be overt or subtle—and it’s always unlawful. Discrimination can occur in hiring, firing, pay, promotions, job assignments, training, or workplace policies.

Common Forms of Racial Discrimination

• Being passed over for promotions despite qualifications
• Racial slurs, offensive jokes, or stereotypes in the workplace
• Receiving harsher discipline than coworkers of a different race
• Being paid less for the same work
• Isolation or exclusion from teams or opportunities
• Retaliation for speaking up about unfair treatment

If you’ve experienced any of the above, you may have grounds for a racial discrimination claim under New Jersey or federal law.

Legal Protections for Fairfield Township Employees

Both state and federal laws protect employees from racial discrimination:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits employers from discriminating based on race or color.
• New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD): Provides even broader protections, allowing claims for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney fees.

These laws cover all aspects of employment and apply to public and private sector jobs.

What to Do If You’re Being Discriminated Against

• Keep detailed records of incidents, including dates, times, and names of those involved
• Report the behavior to HR or your supervisor in writing
• Do not sign any agreements or waivers without legal review
• Contact an experienced employment attorney immediately

Don’t suffer in silence. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.
