IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK,
Don’t let anyone take it away.
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 or citizenship status.
In most cases 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.
