QUICK TIPS: SAVE PROMOTION ANNOUNCEMENTS TO HELP PROVE DISCRIMINATION

If you are trying to demonstrate disparate treatment and discrimination in the workplace, having a copy of promotion charts or announcements will help illustrate who is receiving promotions at your company and who is being passed over. Many companies will email or post the list of promotions when announcing the good news to the rest of the workforce. Save the email or make a copy of the announcement. If the information is not included, write the grade/level, race, and previous title of each individual, if you have a way of identifying this information. Always think about what information you need to prove a case of racial discrimination by a business. While you're employed, save everything that's relevant. But, be really sneaky about it. If you're having issues, you are being watched!
