How Does National Origin Discrimination Manifest?
You should speak with Mr. Lavigne immediately if your national origin has become an issue at your place of employment in these or other ways:
- Failure to hire because of race or national origin
- Failure to promote or offer training opportunities because of national origin
- Unnecessary pre-employment questions about national origin that determine hiring
- Requirements unrelated to the position you are seeking that exclude members of a particular national origin
- Negative, derogatory comments about national origin that create a hostile work environment
- Work assignments that seem to be based on national origin or ethnicity
- English-only language rules in the workplace
If the harassment you are feeling has come from a co-worker and your employer knew about it and failed to stop it, then that employer may be responsible for damages. Perhaps national origin discrimination was the result of a company-wide practice or standard procedure, leading to a hostile work environment. Lawrence N. Lavigne will work hard to ensure that the people you work for or the company’s senior management is held accountable for discrimination of any kind.
