Re: Race Discrimination
It violates both New Jersey and federal law to harass an employee because of his or her race. While I would prefer to talk to you directly before making any legal conclusions, what you describe definitely sounds like racial harassment. Each of the individuals who have quit as a result may have what is called a "constructive discharge" claim, which basically means that the company made things so intolerable that any reasonable person would have quit under the circumstances.
I would be happy to meet with you, and with any of your coworkers who have experienced this harassment. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact me directly at my email address listed below.
