Legal Question in Employment Law in California
my boyfriend is employed in the contruction indudstry, finishing out an apprenticeship in carpentry and his employer has not worked him for about two months. He is the only white emloyee and all of the other employees (hispanics), regardless of the length of time they have been with the company, are getting work. My boyfriend has been employed at the same job for 3 years and his unemployment is about to run oot. Should he legally pursue a discrimination case?

He can IF he can somehow prove that it is discrimination and not just 'unfair treatment', and he can overcome whatever the employer says [falsely?] in their defense is the reason for the denial of work. Proof would include witness evidence or documents showing the 'intent' of the employer is something other than valid business reasons. It does sound 'suspicious' of course, but you do have to prove a case through other than your speculation and feelings.
If you think you can meet those proof requirements somehow, feel free to contact me to discuss your rights and remedies. I will require you prepare a thorough written narrative of the case, completely describing all the history, facts, issues and evidence available.
