Job Seeker Alleges Discrimination Over Perceived Disability

I hope justice will be done so tht this injustice starts and end at Chase supermarket..

I know in other countries like America, Canada and England he would have gotten a job, because it’s against the law there to discriminate some because of their disabilities. I remember working for a contractor company who has a contract with the US Air Force. The company hired an American as a HVAC technician who had a postictal leg—he lost one of his. I watched that gentleman worked on air conditioning and chiller units including walk-in freezer and refrigerator. His postictal leg didn’t stop him from performing his daily duties. I also worked with few other Americans who had other disabilities. Antiguans who migrated and are living in the countries mentioned about can also testify that disabilities isn’t an issue for employment where they’re. Antigua needs to get on board with the twenty first century. We are too much behind.

Boycott the Guyanese supermarket owner that came to Antigua and made millions and now discriminating against this young fella

Whoever is responsible for discriminating against this young man should be reprimanded. This individual is not fit to be in that position. Simple exercises on the sopt could determine whether this man is fit for the position. I am really disappointed as a former manager.

They should have given him a chance, and let him prove himself wrong not just turn him down like that

Looking forward to the follow up.

I hate that supermarket so much. Judging a person by disability is never a good thing. Once they have the ambition it simply means that they have the courage in themselves

I had an encounter with the son before and I know he’s a sick kid no manners no customer service he even went as far as look me up on Facebook and curse me out before just because complain about the price displayed on the shelf and it rang up for a different price at the register he’s so rude so I know anything is possible at chase

Great work . You guys have been doing good work. Sometimes I believe there’s too much politics but when I come across stories like these where you fight for the marginalized people I am convinced that there a few good men and women within your establishment who cares about people. Keep up the good work. You guys deserve an award for the role that you continue to play.

im shocked at what I just listened too. You can’t deny someone an interview or a job just because of a disability. You embrace that person. Everyone deserves a shot at life! Not be judged

It should be unthinkable that Black workers are still paid less than their white counterparts for doing the same job. But it’s happening quietly, subtly, and far too often. And what’s worse? No one with power seems willing to call it out. Especially at hotels

Let me be clear: it should be illegal to pay Black people less than white people period. Equal work deserves equal pay. No loopholes. No excuses. No pretending it’s about “experience” or “qualifications” when we all know the real reason lies in bias, discrimination, and systemic inequality that never really left.

And while we’re at it, let’s talk about the jobs that are slipping away from hardworking local people people ready, willing, and more than capable of filling them. But instead of giving locals a fair shot, companies are bringing in foreign workers, often under the guise of “skilled shortages”

We’re not blaming the foreign workers they’re trying to survive too. But there’s a deeper issue here: when locals who’ve been trained, who’ve paid their dues, who’ve been in the trenches when they can’t even get a fair look, something’s wrong. And the silence from the unions that are supposed to fight for workers? That’s a betrayal.

Unions were built on the backs of working people. But when they turn their heads from racial wage gaps, when they ignore the quiet replacement of local labor, they stop being voices for justice and start being part of the problem.

We don’t need more empty talk. We need action:

Laws that enforce equal pay, not just promise it.

Policies that prioritize local talent, especially in underserved communities.

And unions that stand up for all workers — not just the ones they’re comfortable representing.

It’s time to confront the uncomfortable truths. Because if we don’t, the cycle of inequality will keep spinning and too many good people will be left behind.

We would also like to receive our vacation pay in a lumpsum and not installments!!
