Discriminated Against While Working For An Airline Due To Race?

America is undergoing an awakening about racial issues along with a growing conviction to end racial inequities. However, many airline professionals of color still encounter racial discrimination each day.

While many are familiar with airlines' history of gender discrimination, it's finally time for airline employees to raise their voices and push back against the silent evils occurring at America's airports.

Examples of racial discrimination facing airline employees include:

• Offensive nicknames, racial slurs and taunts by managers
• Segregation within break rooms and control rooms
• Required to use unsafe, poorly maintained machinery
• Unfair team and job assignments, such as heavier flights
• Denied opportunities for advancement or training
• Receiving lower income than coworkers of other races or ethnicies
• Disparities in disciplinary actions or standards for different employees based on skin color
• Faced retaliation after reporting racist or unequal treatment
