Want to know where to look at? Case is there and all but not money to spend on lawyers. Prejudice involves very complicated situation where boss threaten to mess up your record if you dont stay working for him. But at the same time says that he dont want to see you in the office. Where is sense in this? My buddy needs help asap and i wish i could help but i am just a law student and definitely not into civil law practice!?
Any ideas and suggestions will accepted. I will vote for best answer with a highest score but it have to realistic and mature answer. Thx.

Well here this person got on my ***. Cmon now if i write the whole story i will bore the hell out of you. Its a NYC Union, its more prejudice to race; my buddy is black, boss is Jewish. Prejudice over nothing. He never really gave him a reason not to like him, but at the same time when boss called him lurch or something he didnt take too much time but let him know that he need to watch his mouf; that just because he is employee he is not going to take a disrespect. Well what else can i say. They had HR meeting and of course they all for boss. They will take his side. So meeting didnt help but gave my buddy no choice but go back to work and suck it up, because otherwise they said they will leave him unemployed and mess up his record. Doesnt make too much sense because at the same time when they dont let my buddy make any other smart choice but stay employed with them, boss still keep saying that he dont want to see him in his office. WTF? BTW, not into civil law....i repeat it again!

Hey BK;
The first step you want to take is talk to the HR Dept. explaining the situation and lodge a complaint of discrimination/harrasment. If this offers no resolution, you can contact the State Dept. of Emplyment, probable through e-mail or over the phone, and go through the proccess of filing a discrimination/harrasment complaint.

Prejudice regarding what? There's go to be more to it than a boss threatening someone if they don't stay as opposed to his telling your buddy that he doesn't want him around the office. There are quite a few considerations. What kind of job, how long employed, is it a race issue, a retaliation issue, a sexual issue, are there others involved, etc, etc, etc. Being as you are a law student you have certainly learned that one needs an entire story in order to make suggestions or give advice.

If he feels he is being unfairly treated at work, there are laws that deal with it. Have him call the Department of Labor and file a complaint.....won't cost him a dime. Their number is in the phone book.

I would contact someone in your states EEOC, explain the situation, and hopefully they would set up a sting(hidden camera).
