Non vaccinated employees must be masked and submit to testing, at our own cost if necessary, but vaccinated have no restrictions. I spoke up in the meeting and said it's legal standard that marking any employee in any way that would imply they are superior or inferior to anyone else is discrimination and will make them liable for a suit. Got told "That's a nice opinion" lol suckaz

Discrimination is not illegal whatsoever, except if it's on the basis of a "protected class." Those are:

  • Race
  • Color
  • Religion
  • Sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity)
  • National origin
  • Age (40 or older)
  • Disability and genetic information (including family medical history)

Everything else is fair play. Don't like people that wear a shoe size larger than 10? You fire'em. You can dock their pay. You can make them wear a badge that says "I have clown feet."

I'd love to see someone try that one. They'd lose in a heartbeat.

Find a better example, or better yet find one that actually happened and the employer went to court and won.

Civil cases aren't public. They're not going to lose because it's not against the law.

Why don't you point us to the law that you believe makes discrimination against the law.

The badge with clown feet is a bad example. They’d lose on basis of a hostile work environment.

I'm sure each state is different. In California hostile work environment is only illegal when 2 conditions apply, and both have to apply:

  1. The behavior involves or is because of a protected trait (race, sex, religion, etc.)
  2. The behavior is either pervasive or severe

See

It is an unlawful employment practice, unless based upon a bona fide occupational qualification, or, except where based upon applicable security regulations established by the United States or the State of California:

(j)(1)For an employer, labor organization, employment agency, apprenticeship training program or any training program leading to employment, or any other person, because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or veteran or military status, to harass an employee, an applicant, an unpaid intern or volunteer, or a person providing services pursuant to a contract.
