Can I sue for owner for giving me less tables to serve?

Q: he owners of the restaurant are the hostesses and they constantly give one particular server the best section and the most tables. The one owner always puts me in the worst section and my sales end up being lower than everyone else. They are usually more than half less than the server that they seat all the time. I feel that she is discriminating against me for a few reasons. Can I sue? (Cranberry Twp., PA)

A: It depends on what reason you are discriminated against and how good your proof is. If you are a member of a protected class of people such as women, those over 40, national origin, color, race, disabled, military veteran, married, religion, etc., and you can prove that you are treated differently, you might have a case. I would call an attorney who specializes in employment discrimination for a more thorough answer.
