'Hundreds of thousands of black and minority ethnic employees victims of racism at work'
Two in five (41%) Black and minority ethnic (BME) workers have faced racism at work in the last five years but most do not report it.
Staff said that discrimination ranges from racist bullying and harassment to more “hidden” racism like jokes, stereotypes or being treated differently at work.
The figures are even higher among younger workers, with more than half (52%) of BME employees aged 25 to 34 old experiencing racism at work, according to a report by TUC.
However, only 1 in 5 (19%) of those who have experienced harassment told the TUC that they had reported the most recent incident to their employer.
