(Fox News) - A Tennessee woman has filed complaints with three government agencies — including the Justice Department — saying she was discriminated against because she is an American-born worker. Sabrina Steele alleges a local plant farm discouraged her from accepting employment because it wanted to hire foreign-born workers.

Steele's lawyer, Melody Fowler-Green, says her client was told she would be the only English speaker performing manual labor, that the ratio of male to female workers was 20-to-one and that she would have to work 80-hour weeks; terms her lawyer says the foreign workers are not subject to.

"They purposefully offered her this position on undesirable terms... if she had been offered the same conditions being given to the other workers, she would have gladly accepted the job."

Farm management says the allegations are unfounded.
