Discrimination may often not be obvious or even deliberate, but subtle behaviours, attitudes and ways of working can escalate into cases of discrimination which both individuals and employers can be liable for liability.
Being able to recognise discrimination when it occurs and putting in place policies and preventative measures to avoid discrimination occurring in the first place is necessary to ensure a safe and equal working environment for everyone.

I feel im not being treated fair at work, I just got suspended because of a customer complaint, there are other managers in the company that have more customer complaint than I have and nothing has been done to them not even a wrightup, I was wondering if I can do anything about this or should I just moveon and find another job. Can someone please help me.

Michael - are you based in the UK? If not then the information in this website will not be applicable to you. Either way you will need to contact a union to seek advice on your situation.
