Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Employment Discrimination
I am aware of the right to work law, however I was hired at a particular company by the managing director prior to her leaving for maternity leave. She was out when i started working. During the course of my interview I was interviewd by the person who was to fill in for her as well. He wa aware of the changes i was being brought in to make, however when I started working there he wouldn't allow me to do my job and assigned me menial tasks and deliberately withheld info so i couldn't even do what he was assigning me to do. He had made a racial comment about someone and acted very condescending towards me at times. I filed with the eeoc and they said that it was to go to arbitration however, they haven't contacted me even though it's been several months now. Should I obtain private counsel and pursue this in court? and if so, can you recommend an attorney that would handle such a case?
thank you and regards
ps i know the company has grown approximately 40% and that as why i was hired to establish a system to handle such growth. I am sure they hired someone in my place but i am not definitely sure.

Re: Employment Discrimination
To have a legitimate discrimination case that is worth pursuing, you must have admissible evidence, such as witnesses or documents or strong circumstantial evidence, that can corroborate your allegations. Without such proof, you lose. If there were actual racial discriminatory statements made to or about you that you can prove, then you should take action. If you have proof, feel free to contact me to discuss your rights and remedies.
Re: Employment Discrimination
Discrimination cases are generally very difficult to prove unless you have definitive evidence to support your claims. If you have such evidence including witnesses, contact any employment attorney who has experience in litigating discrimination cases.
