Prince George’s County Race Discrimination Lawyer Fighting for Workers’ Rights
Race discrimination at work destroys careers, damages your mental health and violates your civil rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Maryland Fair Employment Practices Act. You deserve equal treatment, fair pay and the same opportunities as your coworkers no matter your race. When your employer denies you those rights through biased discipline, skipped promotions or a hostile work environment, you need experienced advocates who refuse to back down from powerful institutions.
At Randle & Randle Attorneys At Law, LLC, we fight for employees facing racial discrimination and retaliation in Greenbelt and surrounding areas. Our faith-driven approach combines compassion for your situation with aggressive litigation. We also handle wrongful termination cases when discrimination costs you your job.
What Counts As Race Discrimination At Work In Maryland
Workplace race discrimination shows up in many ways beyond slurs or exclusion. You might notice pay gaps between you and coworkers of a different race who have similar skills and experience. Maybe your employer passes you over for promotions even though you perform well, while less-qualified colleagues move up. Your supervisor might punish you more harshly than others who make the same mistakes. Enduring racial jokes, stereotypes or negative comments about how you look creates a hostile work environment. Maryland’s CROWN Act also protects employees from discrimination based on their natural hair or hairstyle. Seeing these patterns helps you realize that what happened to you may violate the law.
Federal Employees In Prince George’s County: You May Have Only 45 Days
If you work for NASA Goddard, USDA Beltsville, the Census Bureau or as a civilian at Joint Base Andrews, time matters in bringing a discrimination complaint. Federal employees must contact an agency EEO counselor within 45 days of the discriminatory action, and missing this window can defeat your claim before you even file it. By contrast, private-sector employees generally have up to 300 days to file a charge with the EEOC, the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights or the Prince George’s County Human Relations Commission. Patricia Randle brings decades of experience taking on federal agencies that try to intimidate employees into silence.
How To Prove Racial Discrimination And Fight Employer Retaliation
Building a strong civil rights claim requires evidence like unequal discipline records, documented discriminatory comments or patterns showing you got different treatment. We gather this proof, file your charge with the EEOC or Maryland Commission on Civil Rights, and show how your employer violated your rights. Maryland law also protects you from retaliation when you report racism. Getting demoted, pushed out or targeted after complaining breaks the law too. We’ve recovered millions for employees punished for standing up, and we’ll hold your employer accountable for both the original discrimination and any retaliation that followed.
