What Does Race Discrimination In The Workplace Look Like?
Race discrimination is prevalent in the workplace, though most employers do not make it obvious that they are discriminating against a worker or applicant. According to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), race discrimination “involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because they are of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features).” If you or somebody you love has faced discrimination in the workplace due to race, seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

Accuracy in Criminal Background Checks
The Federal Trade Commission charged a background check company, HireRight Solutions Inc., with violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act for failing to ensure the accuracy of reports provided to employers. This represents progress in regulating an industry that provides criminal background checks for 9 in 10 companies but has allowed flawed data to damage job seekers. As part of a settlement, HireRight will pay penalties and improve procedures to update records and notify consumers of disputes. However, more oversight is still needed of an industry that has grown with little regulation.

- 3. In grievance proceedings involving discipline, such as termination, the onus is on the employer to prove that the action taken was warranted. In such cases, the employer presents evidence first (performance reviews, personnel file, etc.) In cases of alleged disguised discipline, the burden of proof rests with the grievor. In grievances against a rejection on probation, the employer must show employment-related reasons for the rejection and the grievor must prove bad faith on the part of the employer. In rejection-on-probation grievances, the employer presents evidence first. In grievances involving the interpretation or application of the collective agreement or arbitral award, the grievor proceeds first.
