Workplace discriminaton attorney Stephen Drinnon: Rising EEOC complaints show that employers have room to improve
While President-elect Barrack Obama's election victory is historic and monumental, it's important to note that workplace discrimination and harassment complaints

continue to rise at alarming rates, says Dallas attorney Stephen Drinnon of The Drinnon Law Firm. EEOC complaints last year increased at the highest rate in more than a decade. Drinnon has secured numerous trial victories and settlements in such cases and is actively representing a Dallas man whose employer allowed co-workers to subject him to racial epithets scrawled on walls of his workplace, and terrorize him with a noose hung over his work station. "Discrimination and harassment take many forms and affect workers in blue collar jobs as well as executive positions," Drinnon says. "This is a particularly grievous case that goes beyond unfair treatment to threats of physical harm. Unfortunately, racial discrimination has not been eliminated but is on the rise."
