Do you get discriminated because of your ethnicity at the work place?

I'm the only Black American on my job. I'm female. I get so much respect from my co-workers until it's not even funny! We all get along. There is no racial tension at all. No jokes about race. I just happen to be working with some of the most maturest professionals that I have ever had the opportunity of working with in my entire life. They consider me a DIVA! Plus Working with all men is a plus! I prefer working with just men because women can be so catty. They do the click thing and I'm not about it. I'm not saying that I can't get along with women. It's just that if you're the only woman on the job, and you've got a great bunch of men around you. You pretty much can't beat it!

Hey, if it says somewhere in writing that you were supposed to get a raise on such and so date, then yes!  Most deffinitely.    No company want to be charged with discrimination and that's what will happen if you don't get your back-pay.  Contact the better business bureua.  Also visit www.DOL.gov\nThis is the department of labor's website.  GOOD LUCK and Congratualtions on your Promotion.

Probably the same in the states..discrimination wherever you go.

Depends on who you are and what your relation is to the management staff?  There would likely be different approaches depending on whether you are an employee, management, district management, etc.

Legally, they cannot discriminate against you because of your disability.  The Americans with Disabilities Act states that if you are able to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations, they cannot use your disability as an excuse not to hire you.  If they do, you have legal recourse against them (but do you really want to work for them if they have such a poor, discriminatory attitude???  Probably not.)  As someone else previously suggested, your local Division of Vocational Rehabilitation will be able to help you with job placement and advocacy, and may have contacts with "disability-friendly" employers in your local community.

I would guess that if you are a member of any so-called minority group then everything you do is considered special and historic, even if it is the same thing done routinely by others every day.  This is a form of reverse discrimination and politically-correct favoritism.

I don't think they are allowed to fire you based on that because it would be discrimination.  That doesn't mean that they can't come up with some other stupid reason instead.  Just be careful and consult an attorney just in case.

I hear that! I am currently working in a call centre also for a few weeks and am fed up with the amount of abuse that I have to take. I am a New Zealander and as such am called some pretty nasty racist names. I have heard some awful things shouted down the phone at me and there really is no need for it. Do people seriously think that you will want to help them if they abuse you?\nI thought face to face was bad but i think people have a mind set that if they can't see you it doesn't count.

You seem to be looking for something to be discriminated against.  If you miss your payments whether white, black, purple or green, they have the right to discontinue their services to you.\n\nSounds as though they gave you at least a couple of breaks and YOU chose to not do what is right and that is pay your bills on time.\n\nAnd yes I have the right to say this as I am Native American and damn proud of it and I don't feel discriminated because I pay my bills on time if not early !!

Free advice being worth what you pay for it, I would definitely leave the race issue out of it if it were me.  After all, is it really a race issue or an issue of gender and hostility in the work environment?  That has nothing to do with race; it has to do with unethical people.  I'm not implying that you are, in any way, unaware of the role of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but the emphasis is on Equal Opportunity; it is not meant to be only for race related issues.\n\nWere it me, I would definitely contact the EEOC; they will take your report.  When I did it, i believe I had to speak to someone along the lines of an intake coordinator, *briefly* describing what my issues were and they gave me a case number and told me i would be contacted by a case coordinator as soon as my complaint had been reviewed.\n\nGender discrimination and hostile work environment are two very valid EEOC areas of investigation and that sounds like what you are dealing with.  Also, if you happen to be older than the Union President (especially considerably so; example: you're in your late 40's and he's in his early 30's), you could file charges of age discrimination, as well.\n\nIt sounds like you have very legitimate grounds for going to the EEOC and at least starting the process.\n\nGood luck; it sure sounds like they are doing everything they can to force you to quit!

You sound a bit sue happy if you ask me... Sure take them to court but let me ask you this, is there anyone at your work that is going to be a witness to this racial discrimination, have you ever told a joke about a blonde or about a race (including your own). My bet is your co-worker didn't even think about it as being racial, he probably was in his mind sharing a funny joke, or did he direct it towards you, more specifically at you? Many times people over hear things and take it way too personal. Some people use their race to get special privileges, others cry out just because they can and want an easy buck. We all have bills and if I was to try and pursue a lawsuit for every comment I have heard about women let me tell you, I'd be filthy rich, oh and lazy too. If you are uncomfortable at work maybe you should look inside yourself and see what it is about yourself that makes you uncomfortable, possibly you are unapproachable or maybe just the opposite, maybe your co-work was comfortable enough around you that he didn't think you would get bent out of shape about a silly joke, maybe he doesn't see you as someone that would quickly use a race card...I’m not trying to pick on you I’m trying to show you there are other possibilities. Not every person is prejudice because they use a label. I truly wish I knew what to call everyone, some people aren't okay with simply being called American, they want another title with it, such as Latino or African, so how does one know what to use and when to and not to use it. \nFood for thought: I could say this question made me uncomfortable because I am female, then I could sue you for sexual harassment, CRAZY! but true, the law defines sexual harassment as making one uncomfortable. (In the simplest terms that is BS I could sue everyone for my own short comings, she looked at me weird and made me uncomfortable, sexual harassment, he said hi to me and I was uncomfortable, sexual harassment) I'm not kidding you its true... \n\nBefore you jump to any conclusions look at yourself and how you interact with your co-workers, make sure you aren't reading too much into it. Also make sure it is worth the fight. \n\nGood Luck and I hope you find it in yourself to make sure you are doing the right thing.\n\nHave a GREAT day!

It is a crime --- you have to prove discrimination get a good lawyer and go fight for your rights -\n\n The jobs you listed have by far(nation wide) more whites employees than other minorities.\n\nIn my home town --- on the local fire dept. there was only one black person (full time employee) the rest are white. My nursing class had about 40 students (only 2 black students).\n I still find for the most part people go where they feel comfortable (accepted).

Yes, in most cases. In most situations your pay grade depends on performance. However you can NEVER go below the minumum wage, if so contact your local labor board.

No it is not discriminitation unless you can prove that your terms of employment are diffrent than the white's. For instacne if they say your credit score is not high and demote you or fire you, but do not do the same to everybody else. Although, you must consent to allow anyone to view the details of your credit report, but I don't beleive they need your consent to a general summary of your credit rating. All they have to do is pay for access.
