Veteran status discrimination is a form of discrimination in violation of federal and/or state law involving harassment or lesser treatment of individuals based upon veteran status. This form of discrimination may be inadvertent or intentional, and it may be obvious or subtle. But regardless of those facts it is against the law. |
