Austin Race Retaliation Attorney

Workers of All Races Have Protected Rights

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects all workers and job applicants from racial discrimination at any point during the hiring, work, and retiring processes. Since this law was passed, many employees have stepped forward to complain about racial discrimination in their workplaces. In the best case scenarios, the problem is effectively dealt with and the employee and his or her employer can move on.

Retaliation

Sadly, all too many employees have returned to work after filing a complaint about racial discrimination only to find that the problem has gotten worse. When an employer seeks revenge against a worker for filing a complaint, this is called retaliation, and it is illegal. Austin employment attorneys Melton & Kumler are proud to help clients fight against a variety of forms of retaliation, including:

• Termination or denial of promotion
• Unjustified negative reviews or evaluations
• Threats to one’s job or well-being
• Any actions that would deter a reasonable person from pursuing his or her rights

If you think you may be the victim of retaliation, you should be aware that the laws against it are only meant to protect workers from egregious offenses. If you are unsure whether your employer’s actions qualify as retaliation, speak with an Austin retaliation lawyer for a case evaluation.
