Question: Can co-workers get away with calling each other fat or overweight? Isn’t that discrimination?
Answer: Michigan is the only state with a law that specifically protects overweight people from discrimination in the workplace. With the exception of a few city ordinances, everyone else is pretty much out of luck, unless you are disabled due to weight. However, if the comments are made only about women, then there might be an issue of gender discrimination or harassment.
