Treated unfairly at work in Dallas–Fort Worth, TX: where do I report job discrimination?

If you were treated unfairly at work because of your race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability, you can report it. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission handles job discrimination complaints across the country [1]. Its website explains who it covers and how to file a complaint [1].

In Texas, the Texas Workforce Commission also takes job discrimination complaints through its Civil Rights Division [2]. Its website explains the steps for people who work in Texas, including Dallas–Fort Worth [2].

Steps you can take: 1. Write down what happened as soon as you can. Note what was said or done, who was there, and when it happened. 2. Keep copies of documents, such as pay slips, work schedules, messages, emails and any warnings you received. 3. Read the complaint pages on the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website [1] and the Texas Workforce Commission website [2]. 4. Act early. Both agencies have time limits for filing a complaint. Check the current limits on their websites, because waiting too long may stop you from filing [1][2].

Each agency can explain how its own process works. This answer is general information only, not legal advice about your situation.
