Re: Martin v. City Airport; 42 U.S.C. § 2000e
We represent Jake Martin. Jake is a 25-year-old American citizen. He is olive skinned, 6 feet 3 inches, 220 pounds with thick dark hair and a full beard. Jake applied for an airport security position. He stated that he has filled out all forms. He was informed that he will not be hired. Jake’s mother lives on an Indian reservation within five miles of the airport security
position. Jake argues that he is being discriminated against under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1). Jake wants a job with airport security.
