One of America’s deep, dark secrets is ‘workplace abuse’ also known as ‘workplace or employment discrimination’ or ‘workplace bullying.’

During hard times, managers, supervisors and others in the workplace bring in others who look like them –their own relatives, friends and neighbors. These types of internal practices have left many American workers out in the cold with no place to go.

Workplace discrimination is the treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against a person based on the group, class, or category to which that person belongs rather than on individual merit.

There is also a growing workplace battleground where a record number of employees are being fired, demoted and otherwise punished for speaking out against discrimination and harassment such as sexism, sexual harassment, and sex and race discrimination.

Women, African Americans and other minorities should not and cannot afford to back away from the workplace. Some companies welcome women, African Americans or gays, but are horrible at welcoming the “disabled.” If you don’t have an inclusive workforce, people know that. The word “a diverse market” gets out pretty fast. You have to “walk the walk!”

Minorities, especially African Americans who are treated as if they are second and third class citizens in their own country, are no longer “the last hired and first fired.” Nowadays --they are not hired at all.

We can no longer turn a blind eye to these types of disparities. Most workplaces in America have a system set up to make it appear as though when you file a workplace discrimination complaint that you will receive justice. It is called the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (EEOC.gov).

These workplace complaints are filed on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. But not all employees, especially managers and supervisors, are protected or covered by EEOC laws. This can vary depending on the type of employer, the number of employees they have, and the type of discrimination alleged.

This book will show everyone even those in managerial and supervisory positions how to how to fight workplace discrimination, whistleblowing and the workers’ compensation system --and win.
