Unfair treatment and discrimination in the workplace.
Where I work, there is no supervisor or person in charge and there’s no proper training. Work conditions are not safe and the staff feels incompetent because of the lack of training. I have been working for employer for over 6 months. I started working at a different hospital and for the same company, so I can see how employees from both locations get treated differently.

Discrimination in the workplace has to do with lesser treatment based on an employee's race, religion, age (over 40), disability, gender, national origin, or the like. And you did not indicate such to be the case in your situation. Further, poor treatment by an employer is ony actionable (absent the aforementioned discrimintion), if it breached any applicable employment contract or union agreement. Otherwise, as an "at will" worker, your company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. For your part, you can either accept these conditions, complain but risk termination, or quit.
