Legal Question in Discrimination Law in New Jersey
Employment Application
My Company recently turned over control of employee
matters...payroll, insurance and all other employee
issues to a Staffing Company.. informing us that we
would now be employed by said Company. On the
Employment Application, we were asked questions
about our Race (ie) Black, Hispanic, White or other...Is
this Constitutional?..we were required to answer this
question and not permitted to skip it...thank you.

Re: Employment Application
There is no reason to have answered that question, and I think you need to see a lawyer right away.
First, because the company is clearly trying to get around federal labor standards laws by shifting all employment to another company. Some, ok, but ALL of it? That's not kosher. Second, the employment application should NOT have required racial identification, unless you work for a company that MUST track it's employment for some reason, maybe an EEOC settlement or something, But, that shouldn't be the case with an employment agency.
You may have suffered harm simply by the off-loading of employment, so go see a GOOD employment discrimination lawyer (avoid the law firm that represents your company!) and explain what has happened.
