He picked up 15 phones, and gave everyone the option of getting a free phone with a free plan. He has 7 phones left, and hasn't offered me one. Also I have emailed him twice about it, and he has not replied. I dont know how to feel about this, or what to do. What do you think?

No it is not discrimination. I work for a company and handle all of the cell phones, but I don't have one. I will play around with one so I can answer questions, but I am not asking for one. You should be thankful that you don't have one. Your boss could contact you 24/7.
I had a job like that and it stunk. I got calls while I was on vacation and at home sick. It got old fast.
Another thing, does your job require a cell phone?????

At first glance it does seem discriminatory. Would he have any reason for hesitating, i.e. does he see you standing around chatting on the phone a lot? Do you already have a nice cell phone? Are some of these colleagues of you worse-off financially and/or don't already have a cell phone? Is there an intermediary who could find out what the deal is?

It would be discrimination if the boss was heard to say "I'm not giving a phone to Calhoun because of his (race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability)". But I am guessing this is not the case, so the boss can do whatever he wants.

this is an prolonged debated question. to a pair, affirmative action is justified as a thank you to point the taking part in field, while different individuals think of in confers an unfair/unearned benefit, and nonetheless others look think of it is not correct in spite of if it actual places minorities and females in an useful place or no longer. in my opinion, i do no longer likely be attentive to what to think of, yet while the belief is to seize up on unequal beginning positions (some persons are plenty greater probably to have a sturdy academic experience than others), it form of feels to me that it could make greater experience to decrease affirmative action to college admissions, and save it out of the workplace. besides, in view that quite some the inequality of beginning positions is by technique of type changes, it could make greater experience to base affirmative action type courses on the area wherein one grew up or the enjoyed ones earnings point, than on race or gender (is gender even a controversy in terms of faculty recently?).

This is petty nonsense.
Get back to focus on your job. Maybe if you did your job well he would think of you as a valued employee.
So you want to sue for the phone? get a life!!!!!
