Can anyone tell me about the new discrimination laws?

Seniority of service has nothing to do with age. It relates to the number of years which you have served in that employment and when employers allow extra leave entitlement for people who have been in the job for a long time it is a way of appreciating their loyalty over the years. There is nothing discriminatory about it.  It just so happens that those who earn it have to have reached a certain age in order to do it.  You stick around long enough and you'll earn it too!

I'm not sure. But after the state sticks you in yours, report back to us. I'm interested to know if they are still serving gruel, and whether you get your knuckles rasped by a ruler when you misbehave. The workers their, if stereotype holds, will all be disgruntled, closeted lesbians.

Salvation Army gets federal funding.  And they discriminatie based on religion in their hiring practices.  Which is technically illegal, but then religious discrimination is the last form of unpunished discrimination in the US.\n\nI researched and tried to find groups that are not Christian and receive federal funds and could not find any.

You should know that you don't have any protection from discrimination right now. The Republicans promote discrimination, and are mostly racists, white supreamists "SKIN_HEAD'S". Your not going to get anywhere with that right now. You have rights and freedoms nobody will inforce for you.

Because that's the latest trend! And, yes!, if you look hard, you'll find it. I think all the people preaching anti-discrimination policies feel guilty in a way for being discriminators themselves!

There should be no oppression in society, thats whay there is legislation.  The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 outlines  that it is unlawful. You can sue if you can prove opression is taking place.

There should be no discrimination. I can do anything you can do, given we both have the same training.

Oddly, the Federal government has anti-discrimination policies in place for civil service employees but not for military.  Very odd!

This would depend upon the supervisor, the type of discrimination and the company.\nIf the supervisor is open and a “people person,” you can approach him or her directly.  If the supervisor is a company stooge, by all means avoid this.\nIf the discrimination is about something very minor, it will probably do no good to complain.  Usually these items get placed under “sour grapes” or “disgruntled employee” and nothing happens except a black mark in your records.  If the item is major, consider carefully all of the consequences before becoming a “whistle blower.”\nUsually you will need the help of a lawyer specializing in labor law.

in the uk you are covered by the "Disability Discrimination Act.I dont know about the states.But the date on the paper would cover you.seek legal advice as can't give full advice as only got snippets of your story.But as long as your employer was aware of the facts, he/she should be reasonable.

Here's a complete rundown from Lambda Legal Aid. I know it says Iowa on the link, but really it takes you to the California page.  At this moment California has an anti-discrimination bill and a state wide domestic partnership registry, but marriage is banned.  There is also a hate crimes law that includes GLBT people.  \n\nEvery other state is different.

In my honest and humble opinion... I think the government is doing it to avoid a law suit or being labeled as prejudice themselves. The government isn't the ones that said hey im being discriminated against because of my race or nationality it is a few squeaky wheels that messed with the cog so much our government had no choice but to acknowledge there is a difference in skin tones. Its scary that people always blame someone else often our government for their short comings rather than accept that they aren't perfect, learn from their mistakes, move on, and try to become better people by learning from their mistakes.\n\n\nHave a GREAT day!

It is a racist policy that enables someone to benefit off the color of their skin.\n2. It benefits minorities and women.\n3. We have lost fair hiring practices to it.\n4. It effects everyone because one day you could be passed over for a job simply because they have a quota of ethnicity to hire. It basically promotes racism and in equality. It is just another pathetic way to keep racism alive. People are not inferior based on the color of their skin or their sexual gender. Affirmative action reinforces centuries old beliefs that here in America, the white skin of the male is praised by all.

UK closes door on Romanian migrants Add to Clippings ... A points system is due to be introduced in the UK from next year 2007 for migrants seeking work permits. The British government approved measures to curb immigration to the UK from Romania and Bulgaria after the two countries join the European Union in January.\n\nIreland has also made public its decision to shut out the two countries' migrants, Enterprise, Trade and Employment Minister Micheal Martin said.\n\nThe limiting measures will be in force during a "transitional period", John Reid, UK home secretary, announced. The controls will be reviewed annually.\n\nIn Ireland Bulgarians and Romanians' access to the labour market would be curbed for at least two years. The country will then review the restrictions right before the end of 2008. \n\nIn a written statement to the House of Commons, Reid said that while a limited number of unskilled workers will be taken on to carry out jobs like fruit-picking, the UK will not continue to operate an "open-door" policy regarding work
