Discrimination is a legally defined word, meaning conduct directly based on your race, sex, age, religion, ethnic origin, etc.

If instead, you are only complaining about unfair treatment and stress, it is not illegal. It might be a violation of Workers Comp retaliation rules; so consult your comp attorney.

If you think you have a valid provable discrimination claim, file with EEOC or DFEH and get experienced counsel. Contact me if so.
