Is this discrimination?
I called off sick from work and was suspended 3 days. Another employee who calls off pretty regularly called of sick and was only given a written warning. I have never used a sick day and we are given 3 per year. Was never told to get a doctor's note, nothing, was just told I was suspended. I am the only person in my plant with Hispanic background, the other 3 or 4 were laid off last year.

It could be. Your employer must treat all benefits to employees without any regard to race, religion, etc.... You would need to discuss this with an attorney who needs to review their personnel manual to get you better advice. An attorney would also have to know why the other Hispanic employees were laid off. Also one needs to know if you are in a union, etc... Lots of questions, a consultation should not be very expensive, probably about $100 or some provide it for free, in any event it may be worth it.
