Race Discrimination in a Bank
Resolving Discrimination and Retaliation Issues – Donna's Story
Donna was an African American woman who had a long career in bank management. She started with this particular employer as a Floating Assistant Branch Manager, working in several locations and receiving excellent performance reviews.
The trouble began when she was placed in a new branch, with a Branch Manager who was openly hostile to her. When she was nominated for a leadership award within the company, he questioned her selection and suggested her race might have been a factor. One day, a white customer came into the branch behaving erratically. Donna tried to help the customer, but he left the bank and then called customer service to complain about Donna in explicitly racist terms. In response, Donna was told that she needed to undergo training to better handled people like him. Shortly thereafter, Donna's employment was terminated by the bank. Though they told her that her position was being eliminated, in fact it was quickly filled by a non African American individual. Donna was stunned that she was not only the target of the customer's racist behavior, but the one singled out to undergo training, and ultimately fired after six years of service to the bank.
We took immediate action by crafting a persuasive demand letter and sending it to the bank. The letter outlined Donna's discrimination and retaliation claims. Through skilled negotiations, we secured a fair severance package on her behalf, all without the need for a public court complaint. Postscript: Achieving Justice Without LitigationDonna received compensation for her unlawful termination without enduring the emotional toll of a lengthy litigation process. If you're facing an unjust termination, whether you haven't been offered any severance or believe the offered package is insufficient, remember that you have the option to pursue fair compensation with the assistance of an experienced employment lawyer.
