Nate Calderon worked for a local Boys' Club for years before becoming a probation officer, and later obtained a position in a group home to work one-on-one with residents. When he was transferred to a desk job, he was angry. His supervisor explained that it was because he routinely broke the rules, which resulted in behavior problems among the boys. It was not a demotion, his pay, hours and benefits stayed the same. Calderon, however, felt it happened because he was Hispanic, and sued the home for discriminating against him on the basis of his nationality.
