      Pretty sure since it’s a layoff they’ll argue it wasn’t specifically targeted as a form of discrimination. America is full of things that feel like they should be illegal, but aren’t.

      Like how my state has absolutely zero laws enforcing access to bathroom or food breaks at work. Totally baffling.

        Technically it’s covered by Article 24 of the declaration of human rights: which states the following:

        “Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.”

        So really you could argue that you need a rest.

          No American court is going to hold an American company who fired (presumably) an American who (presumably) works on American soil liable under that. You’d be better off looking for local statutes that offer protections.

      We have the simplest justice system in the world. Everything is legal unless you’re poor in which case everything is illegal.
