They’ve got to treat you right. And besides, don't make sense. You're a good worker, reliable, honest, steady. And they know you're married to Veronica. Couldn't have a better reference.” . The next day, Robert called the plant superintendent. “Hey, what's with you guys. Haven't heard nothing from you. That's no way to treat anybody. What's holding you back?

The employer refused to hire me because | am married to a person whom they employ. They have a policy agalnst hiring the spouses of employees. This policy is discriminatory.” The company's president took the stand. “Your honor, we're proud of our reputation of being a fair employer. That policy of ours is designed to prevent - chaos, and not to be discriminatory. Employees will get upset if we hire some Spouses and not others. To keep matters simple and fair, we don't hire spouses. It doesn't discriminate against Robert because it applies to all spouses.” Is the policy of not hiring spouses dis- criminatory? YOU!
