National Origin Discrimination

San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents employees who have been discriminated against on the basis of their national origin.

National Origin Discrimination occurs when someone is discriminated against because of his or her birthplace, ancestry, culture, or linguistic characteristics.

Mexican-Americans, Ethiopian-Americans, African-Americans, Lithuanian-Americans, and employees of other national origins are entitled under both federal and state law to be protected from discrimination based on their national origin.

National origin discrimination can occur during any stage of employment, including hiring, firing, and career advancement.  Examples of national origin discrimination include denial of a job based on a person’s accent, fluency requirements unrelated to the job and meant to exclude particular origins, and English-Only workplace policies.

San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley represents individuals who are being discriminated against because of their national origin in disputes with human resources, administrative actions before the EEOC, and lawsuits in state and federal court.

Retaliation against someone who opposes national origin discrimination is also prohibited by state and federal law.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your national origin, please contact San Antonio employment lawyer Rob Wiley.
