What is the name of your state? Mass
Up untill last week my wife used to work for a large floral supply. She worked in a small room with 3 other ladies unpacking flowers from all over the world and putting them into arrangements. She was thrilled about this position which she had since March, pay was good and hours were fine, so she worked hard to keep it. My wife is an upbeat person who had good working relationships with her boss and supervisors. I had some time off from work comming up and my wife said it would be nice for us to visit family, so she made arrangements with her boss to take unpaid vacation for a week. Upon arriving back to work last week my wife was told that she was being fired: "things didn't work out because of cultural differences". (My wife is Irish and the women she worked with are all Portuguese) These coworkers wanted the "different" person out of their group, and they must have convinced the boss that my wife had to go. No unemployment check, no time consideration to look for another job, she was out that morning.
Now, Is there a case here? In my mind "Cultural Differences" is racism.
