If you have a question, please feel free to contact us. A Charge of Discrimination can be completed through our online system after you submit an online inquiry and we interview you.In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed Title VII Civil Rights Act, which prohibited discrimination in employment and in other areas of society. A charge of discrimination is a signed statement asserting that an employer, union or labor organization engaged in employment discrimination. The prohibition against unlawful discrimination based upon each of the protected categories identified in the NYSHRL will extend to nonemployees. When a right is established in the Constitution, it is protected from future legislation that might put it at risk.
