Can an employer discriminate against a health safety representative?
In the US there are still some grounds on which an employer is permitted to discriminate. Among them is "not doing a good job" and "misuse of company resources." Being a health and safety representative does not insulate you from the consequences of poor performance, etc. However, an employer is not permitted to discriminate against any employee for raising reasonable concerns about health and safety in the workplace, and a health and safety representative would be expected to do that, perhaps more than other employees.

Can an employer discriminate against someone with ADD?
No one should be discriminated against. However, if the disorder interferes with his/her ability to do the job as required its another story. You cannot expect an employer to sacrifice productivity, efficiency, and proficiency, just because an employee has a disorder. Its not fair to the company, other employees, and customers/clients. The employer should display some social responsibility by attempting to help the individual, however it also depends on the size and ability of the organization to provide such services.
Can my employer discriminate against my husband because I work there?
No. An employer isn't supposed to discriminate against any one for any reason. However, you might be encountering employment rules about members of the same family working for the same company or, more usually the case, one working in a supervisory capacity for the other. The latter is usually not allowed. The former depends on the company.
