Apologize for claiming discrimination?

My employer told me some lies about why they gave a new guy of another race priority in which shifts he wanted to work. The problem is that they had me working second on Sunday, third on Monday and Tuesday, and coming in for second on Wednesday and Thursday. (I would get off at 7 a.m. on Wednesday AND come back at 3 p.m. the same Wednesday.) The new guy got to work thirds on Wednesday through Sundays. His shifts are the exact same ones that I was promised before he interviewed. Once the individual in question showed up for interview, he got the shifts he wanted, not me. I was given the excuse that it was b/c he had another job in which required him to have those nights. When I found out that this was a lie, I confronted my supervisor who then said that he would check in on it. When I checked back with him, he never did, but promised to do it. This happened several times. After almost falling to sleep behind the wheel in broad daylight a few times going to and from work, I felt like I had no choice but to quit. Now my employer says that I can go back, IF I apologize for claiming discrimination. I feel that by having to apologize, that this is like saying that I had no right to claim discrimination in the first place. Can they do this? What should I do?

Apologize for claiming discrimination?
Your employer cannot force you to apologize.





There are certain "protected classes" of people that if they are treated disperately, can be considered discriminated against: race or color; religion; national origin or ancestry, physical disability; mental disability or medical condition; gender; age, with respect to persons over the age of 40; and pregnancy. That is from http://www.finduslaw.com/taxonomy_menu/1...





If you fall into one or more of those "protected classes" and you truly feel that you were discriminated against because you are a member of one of those classes, then you may have a case.





I suggest that you contact the people at http://finduslaw.com and ask them for Employment Law advice: http://www.finduslaw.com/contact
Reply:you could not prove it, so you had not right claiming it,





that is the bad thing, people assume many things, maybe they just liked them better, maybe he had a better background,


maybe they lied to you, maybe they promised both of you the same shift,





But unless you can prove it, you only think it,
Reply:I suggest talking to an attorney. Find one where the initial consultation is free and he can advise you.
Reply:I don't know if they can legally do that, but keep in mind that you don't HAVE to take that job back. If you have good evidence for racial discrimation, then I don't see why you need to apologize.
