How do you determine discrimination in workplace What questions do you ask employers to prove workplace discrimination?

Answer:

Assuming you mean ILLEGAL discrimination (most discrimination is lawful), then you don;t ask the employer much - there is an incentive to lie. Investigators look at hiring, promotion and pay PATTERNS by race, sex, or age.
Employers can then explain why a pattern looks unusual.
