JUSTICE FOR WORK DISCRIMINATION OF RACE AND NATIONAL ORIGIN
Background: Our client, originally from Ghana, was employed in a retail position in upstate New York. Her manager, an immigrant from Vietnam, consistently made racially charged comments during her time at the job. Repeatedly stating negative stereotypes about West Africans, the manager even expressed regret in hiring our client. After filing a complaint with Human Resources, our client faced retaliation, and shortly thereafter, she was terminated on grounds of "chronic tardiness."
Outcome: We argued that our client was being subjected to discrimination based on her race and national origin, and was fired in retaliation for complaining about the discrimination. We were able to recover approximately $36,000 for her.
Result:
$36,000
CASE WON AGAINST RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
Background: Our client worked for years at a department store without an issue. When she received a new manager, who was a white woman, things began to change quickly. The manager consistently made inappropriate comments about our client's natural hair and even suggested wearing a wig for better customer response. Despite reporting to Human Resources, the issue persisted, and our client was eventually terminated, allegedly for performance reasons, shortly after expressing discomfort with the inappropriate comments.
Outcome: We were able to show that our client was discriminated against based on her race, and that she was fired in retaliation for complaining about her race. Our client ended up recovering approximately $60,000 from her former employer.
Result:
$60,000
PROVING WORKPLACE RETALIATION BASED ON RELIGION
Background: Our client, an observant Sikh man, drove a delivery truck for a company delivering supplies to stores in New York City. As part of his religion, he wore a Dastar. He faced mockery from coworkers about his religion, particularly regarding his turban. Despite expressing his discomfort and requesting an end to the ridicule, he was eventually terminated on the grounds of not getting along with coworkers.
Outcome: We were able to show that our client was fired due to discrimination based on his religion, and fired in retaliation for complaining. We recovered approximately $31,000 for our client.
Result:
$31,000
PUSHING BACK AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Background: A woman employed by a New York City tour company was repeatedly being hit on by a coworker. He asked her out several times, and would not take “no” for an answer. Despite bringing the issue to her manager's attention, the manager advised her to "work it out" with the coworker. After a second complaint, the manager suggested that if she couldn't resolve the issue with her coworker, she should find another job.
Outcome: We argued that our client was fired in retaliation for complaining about sexual harassment. She ended up recovering approximately $19,200 from her employer.
Result:
$19,200
SUPPORTING OUR CLIENT FACING SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Background: Our client, a gay man, worked as a waiter at a restaurant in Yonkers. Our client was subjected to increasingly inappropriate behavior from his boss, who was also gay, including constant touching and indecent proposals. Our client tried to brush it off, but eventually made a comment to the owner of the company. A few weeks later, the manager fired our client for “poor customer service.”
Outcome: We argued that our client was fired in retaliation for complaining about sexual harassment. We were able to recover approximately $21,000 for our client.
Result:
$21,000
