My employer told me some lies about why they gave a new guy of another race priority in which shifts he wanted to work. The problem is that they had me working second on Sunday, third on Monday and Tuesday, and coming in for second on Wednesday and Thursday. (I would get off at 7 a.m. on Wednesday AND come back at 3 p.m. the same Wednesday.) The new guy got to work thirds on Wednesday through Sundays. His shifts are the exact same ones that I was promised before he interviewed. Once the individual in question showed up for interview, he got the shifts he wanted, not me. I was given the excuse that it was b/c he had another job in which required him to have those nights. When I found out that this was a lie, I confronted my supervisor who then said that he would check in on it. When I checked back with him, he never did, but promised to do it. This happened several times. After almost falling to sleep behind the wheel in broad daylight a few times going to and from work, I felt like I had no choice but to quit. Now my employer says that I can go back, IF I apologize for claiming discrimination. I feel that by having to apologize, that this is like saying that I had no right to claim discrimination in the first place. Can they do this? What should I do?

"What should I do?"
Be a MAN and stick to your guns! Jeez! Dude, I can't believe you'd even have to ask! Tell the guy that you won't apologize and you won't put up with the affirmative action crap. Also, tell them that if they want to play those games, you can play, too, by going to your local paper (just bluff, okay?) or reporting them to the Equal Employment department (don't bluff).

You should document any instances of racism including time , date , who any witnesses and what the subject is. Then find a lawer and explain this to him and see if you might have a case asinst the company.

There must be coordination between your boss and both of you you as employees. Conditions in accordance with Labor Laws should apply equitably to both of you particularly regarding the hours of work. Schedules must be adjusted to serve your time of work equally beneficial to both of you.

tell them you will apologize if you get the shifts that you desire. Otherwise, get another job and report them to the state's attorneys office.
Take Care

If you're White, you're screwed. If you are Black or Hispanic, you get whatever you want. It's the sign of the times albeit unfair.
