Our firm represented Abner Morgan, an electrician at Amtrak’s Oakland maintenance yard from 1990 until 1995. Amtrak’s supervisors discriminated against Mr. Morgan and numerous other African-American em ... ployees in training opportunities and work assignments, and singled out anyone who complained about the unfair treatment with harsh disciplinary actions. We sued for racial harassment, race discrimination and retaliation.

This signature case established the "continuing violation" doctrine which has been used in millions of cases since we won Mr. Morgan's case.
