Exercise 10

José and César, both Hispanic, are carpenters employed by a contractor to help build an office building in Maryland. While working, José and César discover that they are being paid less than non-Hispanic employees. In addition, they allege a hostile work environment and discriminatory terms and conditions of employment, including anti-Hispanic statements by managers and employees, segregated eating areas, and an "English-only" rule imposed by the contractor. José and César sue for race discrimination. Will they win? [ Aleman v. Chugach Support Services, 485 F.3d 206 (4th Cir. 2007)]
