National Origin Discrimination Is Prohibited by Federal Law

Our firm understands national origin discrimination and ethnic discrimination. We also work with experts who understand it. At The Amlong Firm, we have the sophisticated experience you need to fight the negative consequences of national origin discrimination at your workplace. We are here to advocate for the rights of people facing nuanced discrimination based on their national origin, including cases involving:

• Failure to hire someone who is clearly from somewhere other than the United States
• Asking about the origins of a person's surname
• Refusing to promote an employee who is from another country
• Favoring employees who are from the same national origin as the supervisor
• Inequitable discipline policies based on national origin
• Making insensitive remarks such as "you people" when referring to someone from a different national origin
