I was just suring the Fairfax County government webpage when I came across the Human Rights Commission's
page about discrimination. I usually associate the initials HRC with protecting people of various sexual
orientations, but that does not fall under commission's mandate at all. What I found really odd, however,
was this bit:
Employers having four or more employees, employment agencies and labor organizations may not discriminate
on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, age or disability.
In other words, as long as you employ fewer than four people, you can be as racist, sexist, etc. as you
like when you make your hiring and pay decisions, and you're not breaking any laws. Who knew?
