Legal Question in Employment Law in California

If the facts are as you stated them to be, I believe you may have very strong claims for wrongful termination, discrimination and/or retaliation. Please give me a call at (213) 381-6557 or email me at ([email protected]) if you would like to discuss the issue further.

All the best,

It definitely appears you have been subjected to discrimination based on your race. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits any employer from discriminating against any employee because of his or her race. Moreover, under that same law, an employer is prohibited from retaliating against any employee who makes a verbal or written complaint based on a reasonable belief of discrimination.

Given the facts as you wrote them, you have been subjected to both discrimination and retaliation. First, the emails referring to you as "the black girl" or the "pregnant black girl" and accusing you of wanting to get fired and sue them almost certainly show discrimination. Then, you were retaliated against after making a complaint of such discrimination when your employer cut your ours and subsequently terminated you.
