Federal and state laws protect employees not only from race discrimination, but also from discrimination based upon your nation of origin, also known as national original discrimination. For example, if an employer treats people from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Canada, Japan, or any country less favorably than employees from other countries, it is unlawful. If you feel you have been discriminated against because of your national origin, including being subjected to a hostile work environment, please call the Sass Law Firm to schedule a consultation to learn more about your rights and potential remedies. National origin discrimination is against the law.

National Origin Harassment and Hostile Work Environment

For example, if you are frequently subjected to derogatory comments regarding your nation of origin by co-workers or supervisors, it could be considered unlawful harassment or creating a hostile work environment. If you feel you are being harassed because of your national origin, and need assistance with seeking internal remedies and/or legal remedies if the national origin harassment does not stop, please call the Sass Law Firm to schedule a consultation to learn more about your rights.  National origin harassment is against the law.
