Thread: Discrimination at work

Hello, I am sorry for my English, but it is my third language. I am living in USA about 3 years, my child is 1 y.10 m. old. I have pedagogical degree from my home country and was looking for teaching job, because it is my field and also I wanted that my child be able to interact with other children. After sending several resumes I received offer from Children courtyard, which located near my home. Before start my job I told to director that my child not feels well, after doctor gave to him some antibiotics, which totally upset his stomach and he lost a lot of liquid. He was need extra water and special food like bananas. I asked director if I can bring to him outside juice without sugar and some bananas and his bottle, because he is do not know how to drink from a cup. She said

Discrimination because of national origin is illegal under federal law. It may also be illegal under the laws of your state. I can provide only the following general information. An attorney licensed in your state can evaluate your potential claims, and you should not consider anything in this post as offering legal advice or creating an attorney/client relationship.

Offensive or derogatory remarks about a person

Now I'm learning a lot here. Discrimination is part of a job. But I think it's good to have lawyers inside the HR Department to produce not only quality results but to produce good people too.

Discrimination is illegal but an obvious part of a job. Its a nice suggestion to have some legal department in workplace.

Do not be afraid to take action as the law also prohibits employers from retaliating against an employee who made a complaint, filed charges, or participated in an investigation about discrimination.
