If you have a legal right to work in the United States, there are laws to protect you against discrimination in the workplace. You should know that:
- No employer can deny you a job or fire you because of your national origin.
- Unless mandated by law or government contract, employers cannot require you to be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident or refuse any legally acceptable documents.
If any of these things have happened to you, you may have a valid charge of discrimination that can be filed with the OSC. Contact the OSC for assistance in your own language.
