Under both state and fedarl law the use of the following may be actionable and is illegal:

• racial slurs;
• racial language;
• racial pictures;
• shirts depicting KKK symbols and confederate battles flags;
• racial insults.

The use of these on the job creates a hostile work environment not only for the person they are directed at but also for other workers. Hostile work environments violate Title VII and other state and federal laws prohibiting hostile work environments and employment discrimination.

If you live in Peoria, Pekin, East Peoria, Washington, Morton, Bartonville, Mapleton, Hanna City, El Paso, Elmwood, Deer Creek, Farmington, Elmwood, Chillicothe, Bloomington, Dunlap, West Peoria, Peoria Heights, Mossville or Canton contact my office regarding your rights.
