MEXICAN HOUSEKEEPERS SUE FOR NATIONALITY DISCRIMINATION: LOS ANGELES EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS CAN HELP

In California, your employer cannot discriminate against you because of your nationality. Whether you come from Asia, Mexico, Canada, or the Middle East, your employer cannot use your national origin as a reason to treat you adversely. This means that not hiring you, firing you, not promoting you, or demoting you because of what country you come from is against the law. Let an experienced employment lawyer help you stand up for your rights as a CA employee.

When a group of Mexican housekeepers at a local casino were allegedly subjected to rude, inappropriate comments such as being called “wetbacks,” “tacos,” and “burritos”, their rights as employees were violated. California and federal law protect you from being the recipeint of harassing, discriminatory comments. The housekeepers took legal action and sued their employer. No matter what country you are from, nationality discrimination is against the law in the CA workplace.
