Representing Kansas City Employees in Racial Discrimination Disputes
Race discrimination is defined as treating individuals differently in their employment because of their race, color or ethnic origin. If this leads to a rejection for employment, firing or other harm in your employment, then you may have cause for legal action. Examples of racial discrimination may include:
- Equally qualified employees of a different race are given higher pay.
- Equally qualified employees of a different color are given better sales territories.
- A less qualified employee of a different ethnic background receives a promotion to which you believed you were entitled.
- You were laid off from your job while equally or less-qualified employees of a different color kept their jobs.
In many instances, if you have suffered from any of these forms of racial discrimination at work, you may also have endured racial harassment that has gone uncorrected. It is important to understand that you have rights.
Our Attorneys Hold Employers Accountable for Race Discrimination
There are several statutes at both the state and federal levels that employees harmed by racial discrimination can use to assert their rights, either in court or before an administrative agency. An experienced racial discrimination lawyer can help you take the steps necessary to resolve your issue.
Our skilled staff at Holman Schiavone, LLC, is experienced with determining which course of action can best remedy the damage a particular client has suffered from racism.

However, should a lawsuit be necessary to vindicate your rights, our litigation team is exclusively dedicated to representing employees in legal actions against both large and small employers.
