New York State and New York City are melting pots. People have always come here as immigrants and they have enriched our community. Yet we often get calls from employees that they are being treated differently because of where they came from, not who they are. That is illegal. You are being treated badly because of where you come from, or because of your parents' national origin. People of other national origins are getting more money for the same job, more promotions, more overtime and more training, and better performance evaluations. Yet you are just as qualified, and maybe you are more qualified. Yet the people of another national origin are treated more favorably, just because of the country they come from. That is not right, and it's illegal. You cannot be subjected to national origin discrimination at work. Federal Law, New York State Law, and New York City Law prohibit it. Sometimes you tell us that you are subjected to a hostile environment based on your national origin at work. People are using those explicit offensive words, they are leaving offensive pictures on your desk, and sending you offensive e-mails. Or they use code words, but you and the harasser know what they mean, you don't have to spell it out when you want to insult someone because of the their national origin. A hostile environment based on national origin is illegal under Federal Law, New York State Law, and New York City Law. In our more than 25 years of experience, we have helped many employees subjected to national origin discrimination and to a hostile environment based on national origin, and we will be your lawyer for negotiations or a court suit in New York State Courts or New York City so that injustice is stopped.
