Question

Paul lives in new york. paul's employer, susan, supports the republican party, whereas paul supports the democratic party. susan subtly hints that paul would get a raise if he votes for the republicans, but paul votes for the democrats instead. when she finds out, susan demotes paul. in this case, susan's action is illegal.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

In this case, Susan's actions were 100% illegal. She already stated that if Paul would vote Republican, he would get a raise. However, once she found out that he voted Democratic, he was demoted. This is a very clear case of (political) discrimination within the work place.
