This document informs workers that if they have the legal right to work in the United States, they cannot be denied a job or fired due to their national origin or citizenship status. It provides contact information for the Office of Special Counsel, where workers can file discrimination charges if they have been denied employment for these reasons. The Office of Special Counsel can assist workers in filing claims in their own language.
