I work at a jiffy lude store out in Burke, Va. First off I was promised a raise to 8.00 an hour. That never happened I worked for 2 months vaccuming, putting air in tires all 3 bays never got a raise. I also was being make fun of because i am slower then everyone that i work with. which i told my mangers when i first got hired. the names i was being call was a Retard, Wenesdays Child on NBC, also a Stupid Retard and after the employee called me that the mangers saw/heard all of it. i asked them what are they going to do about it they said nothing.. and in the employee handbook its states any employee that has been discriminated by his/her race, age, disablity, etc., will be terminated.. That never happen but what happened is that quit recently. But IM still having problems because I cant but wiper blades on I get made fun of by the mangers because of that also. and I was called stupid because I couldn't but an air filter box back on. Os my manger came over to me and did it and he got it the first try and he walked away and looked at me and said stupid. and last Sunday i went in on my day off to see how busy they were and as soon as i parked my main manger opened the side door to see who it was then close it and locked it. when i went to open the side door it was locked then he unlocked it and laughed about it. I find it very disrespectful for me to have to go through that. at this point I do not know what to do. Do you have any ideas because IM not making any threats but IM close to calling an attorney to handle this in court.

If you can get something on tape that might help too. It may not be needed though. If you can get legal advice I would suggest that first.Comment -
You should get a lawyer.Comment -

By the way, my manager just sent me this video. Should I be offended?

Start keeping a log of everything. Dates that you approached your employer about your problems, the responses they gave you.Things your coworkers did and said. Like the previous poster said try to get what you can on a recording. Once you have some things built up I would approach an attorney about filing a harassment lawsuit. If you have overwhelming evidence that is presented to them by a lawyer you might even get a settlement without ever stepping foot in a courtroom.Comment -

Plenty of employment law attorneys available. Your county probably has a referral service through the local bar association. Some of the bar associations have good drink specials.
More seriously, that's about 1/2 the job of a local bar association - to refer. There usually are some standards for membership, and you'll get someone experienced and respected in the area legal community. You might have to pay $10-25 for a referral or three, but it's a smart start and a little better than the randomness that is lawyer-search by yellow pages. Wish you the best on this. Employers are often VERY bad at accomodating disability reasonably, and ADA-related laws in general - these laws run a lot deeper than putting in a wheelchair ramp.
Too many employers make serious, legitmately injuring mistakes. Sounds like you have caught just that.Comment -
