Racial Discrimination in Woodbridge Township Workplaces: Your Legal Options

No one should face mistreatment at work because of their race or ethnicity. Unfortunately, racial discrimination continues to affect employees across New Jersey, including in Woodbridge Township. Whether it’s in hiring, promotions, assignments, or daily interactions, discriminatory practices are illegal—and you have the right to fight back.

What Is Racial Discrimination at Work?

Racial discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant unfavorably because of their race, skin color, or characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture or facial features). It can take many forms, including:

• Derogatory comments or racial slurs
• Unequal pay or job opportunities
• Biased performance reviews or disciplinary action
• Refusal to hire, promote, or fairly assign work
• Firing or demoting someone based on race

Even subtle forms of racism—like exclusion from meetings or being overlooked for training—can create a hostile work environment.

Your Rights Under the Law

Both federal and state laws prohibit racial discrimination in the workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees nationwide, while the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) offers even stronger protections at the state level. These laws make it illegal to make employment decisions based on race or to retaliate against employees who report discrimination.

Steps to Take if You’re Facing Discrimination

If you believe you’re experiencing racial discrimination at work:

• Document each incident in detail
• Save emails, texts, or other written communications
• File an internal complaint with HR if possible
• Consult an experienced employment attorney

The sooner you act, the better your chances of protecting your rights and building a strong case.
