Race Discrimination

The 1976 Race Relations Act makes it unlawful for your employer to discriminate against you on the grounds of your colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins.

It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against you on the grounds of race in the following ways:-

• Refusing to employ you or consider you for a job;
• Offering you a job on less favourable terms than others;
• Refusing to promote or transfer you to another job;
• Giving you less favourable benefits than a colleague;
• Shorten your working hours, dismissing you or making you redundant
