Double Standard

[Angrboda]

I would talk to someone from the EEOC first, if applicable. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act applies to companies with 15 or more employees and who are engaged in interstate commerce and prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion. (The latter qualification, interstate commerce, can be hard for a non-specialist to determine.) If in doubt, ask the EEOC. ()

I don't remember if religious discrimination is tier 1 or tier 2, but I would talk to someone who knows the law in this area (e.g. the EEOC). The only caution is that discrimination cases generally stand or fall on documenting a pattern of conduct. So, as summer suggests, start asking for things in writing, and keep a notebook where you note the time, day, and type of incident each time you have a problem with these individuals; such a record will be useful even if you only use it to discuss the issue with people in your company such as your superior or HR people.
