Discrimination, endangerment, and harassment in the workplace are against the law.  Yet, most BIPOC and marginalized professionals have experienced at least one of the above in a professional setting.  Whether blatant or subtle, these acts can yield serious mental and physical health consequences, impair job performance, and worsen the economic gap between white and BIPOC communities.  This is not acceptable.

When employees’ rights are respected, everyone benefits.  EPOC Bay Area urges all employees to know their rights, and also urges employers study their legal responsibilities to their employees.
