Mizrahi Kroub: Fighting for Workplace Equality

Imagine working hard to excel in your job, only to be overlooked for promotions, assigned less desirable tasks, or treated unfairly because of your race. Maybe you’ve endured offensive comments, unequal pay, or been excluded from opportunities that others were given. These aren’t just workplace challenges, they’re violations of your rights. We stand up against racial injustice in the workplace. As experienced New York racial discrimination lawyers, we’re committed to ensuring that employers are held accountable for illegal and discriminatory practices. 

What is Race Discrimination?

Race discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfairly because of their race, color, or ethnicity. This can happen in hiring, promotions, pay, assignments, or workplace treatment. Examples of race discrimination include:

  • Unequal Opportunities: Being denied a promotion or desirable assignments due to your race.
  • Harassment: Enduring offensive comments, jokes, or behavior that creates a hostile work environment.
  • Unequal Pay: Being paid less than others in the same role because of your race.
  • Retaliation: Facing punishment for reporting discrimination or standing up for your rights.

Discrimination can be overt or subtle, but both forms are illegal under federal and New York law.

Your Legal Protections Against Racial Discrimination

In New York, employees are protected from race discrimination by federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and state laws like the New York State Human Rights Law. These laws prohibit employers from making decisions based on race and require workplaces to be free from harassment and retaliation.

If you’ve experienced race discrimination, you have the right to:

  • Report the behavior to your employer.
  • File a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the New York State Division of Human Rights.
  • Pursue legal action to recover compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.

At Mizrahi Kroub, we’ll guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected.

The Impact of Racial Discrimination

Racial discrimination doesn’t just hurt your career—it impacts your self-esteem, financial stability, and mental health. Many victims feel isolated, questioning whether they should speak up or endure the mistreatment in silence. You don’t have to face this alone. Our experienced New York race discrimination lawyers have helped countless individuals take action against unfair treatment, secure compensation, and restore their sense of justice.

The Risks of Pursuing a Race Discrimination Case Without Experienced Representation

Taking on a race discrimination case without experienced legal representation can put you at a significant disadvantage. Here’s what you risk:

Missed Deadlines: Employment discrimination cases are governed by strict deadlines, such as filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 300 days in New York. Missing these deadlines could result in losing your right to take legal action.

Insufficient Evidence: Proving race discrimination requires gathering strong evidence, such as documentation, witness statements, and performance reviews. Without an attorney’s guidance, you might not know what evidence is needed or how to collect it effectively.

Legal Complexities: Discrimination cases involve navigating federal, state, and sometimes local laws, each with its own procedures and requirements. An inexperienced approach could lead to errors that weaken your case.

Employer Tactics: Employers often have legal teams ready to challenge claims, discredit victims, or pressure you into accepting a low settlement. Without a skilled advocate, you might not receive the compensation or justice you deserve.

Emotional Stress: Handling a case on your own can be overwhelming, especially while dealing with the emotional toll of discrimination. Having an experienced attorney by your side provides support and reassurance throughout the process.
