$60k recovered for 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 discrimination. Our client ended up recovering approximately $60,000 from her former employer.

Result:
