Don't be a Victim of Racial Discrimination!

If you have been fired without a good reason or based on unlawful discrimination, you may have been wrongfully discharged and you can contest your firing.  Pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 151B, Section 4, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of one’s race and/ or national origin.  See L’Mar Lay v. Motti Electric Co., 2005 WL 4134805 (Mass Super.), Plaintiff was an electrical apprentice who worked 2.5 years for Defendant.  Plaintiff was the only black employee.
