We all deserve respect and fair treatment at work, whatever our race, nationality or ethnic background. But too many people from Black and minority ethnic (BME) communities continue to face racism at work.
It’s against the law for an employer to treat you worse than your co-workers because of your race. They shouldn’t indirectly discriminate either, by having requirements that are harder for you to meet than for members of another racial group.
And you should never face harassment or bullying because of your race.
If you feel you’re experiencing race discrimination, you can take action to enforce your rights.
Very often, the best way to solve problems is to join with co-workers – preferably through a union – and try to reach agreement with your employers on how to make the workplace fairer for everyone.
