Question: My friend and i work at the same place, yesterday he was fired for breaking one of the bosses big rules. I broke that same rule twice before and nothing happened to me. others have also done the same. We have been there past our probation time. The only difference is im white and he's hispanic. Does he have a real complaint? He was told az is a right to work state, what does this mean?
Answer: To determine whether your friend has a complaint you should seek legal advice.
Your question raises two significant issues: discrimination and termination.
These are important concerns and suggest you visit the State
Bar of Arizona website for general information on how to find a lawyer
or seek legal advice.
According to the Arizona Constitution Article XXV, a person has a "right to
work" or have employment without memembership in a labor organization.
