Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Hostile work enviroment
I have a supervisor an ''engineer'', Whom continually calls me ''nigger'' and ''bitch'' almost on a daily basis. He also says these slurrs to another fellow employee. We have complained to the owners of the buisness. But since he is the only engineer on staff, they ignore our complaints. They have also stated that since we are both white males that we have no rights. This is a small company with 9 employeess. Do I have any legal recourse. I have already started searching for other employment.

Re: Hostile work enviroment
You had a great case, up until you said you were a white male (thus taking yourself outside of the usual protected classes) and there are only 9 employees (making some anti-discrimination laws inapplicable). You can certainly seek out the opinion of a qualified discrimination attorney, or perhaps focus your attention and energy on another position without the potential stigma of having filed a lawsuit against an employer.
