My 17 yr old daughter has constantly been verbally attacked by her supervisor; sometimes coming home in tears. Last week her supervisor chastised her in front of a customer she was waiting on and called her a "stupid dumb blond
b----h (profanity)". She left at lunch and did not return. She was called two days later by another supervisor advising her they wanted her to come back, that her supervisor had been talked to by her supervisor and the district office had been called. She was supposed to think it over and call them today with her decision. When she did call, she was informed that they had hired someone else. What is the best course of action here? Can you speak to someone in that manner when their "Associate Manual" prohibits it? (Texas)

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Sec. 21.051. Discrimination by Employer
An employer commits an unlawful employment practice if because of race, color, disability, religion, sex, national origin, or age the employer:
(1) fails or refuses to hire an individual, discharges an individual, or discriminates in any other manner against an individual in connection with compensation or the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment; or
(2) limits, segregates, or classifies an employee or applicant for employment in a manner that would deprive or tend to deprive an individual of any employment opportunity or adversely affect in any other manner the status of an employee.
Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 269, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1993.

You need to see an employment labor law attorney ASAP in your state. Try either attorneypages.com or call the Texas State Bar Association and ask for lawyer referral.


There might be a wrongful termination suite lurking in there. (under Section 411.083?). Ask the attorney in your state.
