Employment Issues
move on with life. Although being fired from a job simply because you choose to live unenumerated is neither fair nor legal, simply forgetting it and moving on with things is the easiest and less stressful way of dealing with it. Certainly we can sue the people who treat us unjustly or unlawfully, but suing takes a lot time, energy and resources. Litigation seldom results in the outcome we hope for and usually just adds to make the situation more stressful.
File Criminal Charges Many times the unenumerated are unknowingly victims of a crime. The most notable example of this is when someone tells you that you must have, or you must provide a social security number because it is the law. Most often the statement that “it is the law” is a criminal violation of the law, which if proven, could subject the person who said it to fines and jail. For example 18 USC §242 and 42 USC §1983 provides that: Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States,... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; 42 USC §1983 further provides that a violator “shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress.”
And 42 USC §408 provides that: Whoever... (8) discloses, uses, or compels the disclosure of the social security number of any person in violation of the laws of the United States; shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.
If these crimes are committed against you, and you can prove it, then you need to talk to your local district attorney about filing a criminal complaint. If your evidence has merit, then the local district attorney is legally obligated to pursue the case.
Sue for Violating Your Rights or for Discrimination Civil litigation is the most common route taken by people who wish to assert their legal right to work in the United States unenumerated. There are two ways to pursue this course. The first is to file a compliant with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for discrimination based upon some protected right such as freedom of religion. Filing a Charge With the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
If you believe you have been discriminated against by an employer, labor union or employment agency when applying for a job or while on the job because of your race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, or disability, or believe that you have been discriminated against because of opposing a prohibited practice or participating in an equal employment opportunity matter, you may file a charge of discrimination with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Charges may be filed in person, by mail or by telephone by contacting the nearest Equal Employment Opportunity Commission office. If there is not an Equal Employment
