Asian Employment Discrimination Claim

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (”EEOC”) enforces federal laws which prohibit employment discrimination.  In an April 8, 2009 EEOC Press Release, the federal agency announced filing of an employment discrimination lawsuit against a Memphis unit of a Houston based concrete supplier.  According to the EEOC Press Release, EEOC attorneys claim in the lawsuit that the company violated federal law by allegedly refusing to place a worker into a sales job because of his national origin, Asian, and age, subjecting him to harassment and retaliating against him for opposing that unlawful conduct.  See, http://www.eeoc.gov/press/4-8-09b.html .  As stated in the Press Release, this alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment decisions and harassment based on national origin and retaliation against those who complain about it.  Further information about the EEOC is available in its website at www.eeoc.gov .

Whether employment discrimination against people of Asian descent occurs in Corpus Christi, Galveston, Houston or elsewhere, Asian victims of unlawful harassment, discrimination and retaliation may contact the EEOC and an attorney or lawyer to determine if an Asian discrimination lawsuit may ultimately be appropriate under the particular circumstances and facts of the potential employment discrimination claim.
