Employer is favoring others causing me to make less money

I just started working for a car dealership in finance.
The general managers son in law has the same role
is me. He is fed deals by the sales managers that
have more opportunity to make money in the finance
office and I get less deals and worse deals. This isnt
even favoritism its just a causality of roles. This also
cannot be legal what do I need to do?

The fact is that not all employees need be treated the same or even fairly, unless some form of leglly actionable discrimination is the reason for the differing treatment. That is ii is based on a worker's race, religion, gender, nationality, disabiltiy or age (over 40). In other words, nepotism is legal unless it violates the terms of a union agreement or employment contract. Bottom line, you can complain about this but risk termination, or you can quit.
