Good afternoon I'm a 41 year old dad working 2 jobs - first job it is a retail store we will call it "Job A" been working there for almost a year and a half, and I hurt my knee a few weeks ago and due to my Doctors restrictions "Job B" my second job sent me home and told me they didn't have no light duty work for me there, therefore until fully released by Doctor I can then resume work there at Job B.
Now Job A is my part time job and Job B is my full time job for 2 months now. But now I'm just left with Job A only due to injury. My Doctors Restrictions are; no bending, no squatting, no standing for long periods of time, no heavy lifting (no more than 15 lbs.) mostly sitting work.
Also I have experienced discrimination towards me and other co workers that some are afraid to come forward and build a case against the company from Job A. A co worker from Job A She has also suffered and accident at job A and we both believe that their is discrimination against us, and we believe we are left to do the heaviest work during our scheduled hours, she is a native of American and I am an Hispanic and we have learned since been employed by Job A we believe they take advantage of both of us.
Also myself I have experienced racism from an assistant manager in the past from Job A, one day I was talking to a co worker in Spanish and she told us that we couldn't do that at the job. And she told us that infront of customers and other co workers.
It is really a stressful job now days at job A that my mind isn't clear at moments to think straight now even With this accident with my knee. Next doctor appointment for therapy would be in 3 weeks. I can't live with just a part time job and kids to take care of.
Any guidance on how to approach these situations? Lawsuit? disability, unemployment?
And also was I wrongfully terminated by Job B? I'm asking this because I have seen other co workers doing lighter work that I believe I can be able to do as light duty work but just because I'm a new guy in the company I felt that they just cut me off!
Thanks in advance,
Javi
