Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Pennsylvania

Discrimination

I have been at my job for over a year now and have watched indivisuals be promoted into positions well beyond their education and experience. About two months ago I put in for a position at my job that would have promoted me from a supervisor to an assistant manager. At that time I was told to complete several task so that the next time the position became avaliable I would be elidgiable for it. The position has come open again and I have completed all requested tasks yet I am be asked to complete the same task again. My employers have a poor history of promoting minorities. Is this an issue that I can take further or should I just seek employment elsewhere.

Re: Discrimination

if you feel you are being passed over from these job promotions or are being asked to do things that other workers not minorities or of a protected class are not asked to do then you may be discriminated against. If so you must file an appropriate claim with the pennsylvania Human Relations commission and the EEOC. There are specific time requirements that require you to file such claim within a period of time after the discriminatory act. you should speak with an attorney to see if he or she feels you have a case or you cn go directly to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commision or EEOC and file a complaint.
