The red, white and black poster advises workers of their rights and where to call if they are experiencing these types of discrimination. It is illegal to deny a work-authorized individual a job based on his or her citizenship status or national origin. Discrimination based on language or accent may also be against the law. Under immigration and civil rights laws, all work-authorized job seekers must be treated equally during the hiring process. While most employers get it right, we still see citizen-only policies, and practices which are discriminatory and illegal such as employers insisting on seeing a document issued by the INS, which are discriminatory and illegal.
