Discrimination

Job discrimination happens when people are not treated fairly or equally at work. This is also known as prejudice. Job discrimination is also against the law, or illegal. A person cannot be treated differently because of their race, religion, age, sex, or national origin.

Child Labor Laws

There are also Child Labor Laws protecting minors from hazardous situations on the job and limiting the work hours for students and minors. Sometimes state and federal labor laws are different. When this happens, the federal laws usually apply. If you have a question about Child Labor Laws, you should contact the Department of Labor.

Summary

All workers have rights to equal employment opportunities. You should know these rights. How you are treated at work should depend only on your work performance.
