Karen drives for Wal-Mart

My guess she is not Hooters martial....

 

I thought there wasn’t genders anymore ??

 

I was taught by my father "don't bring your feelings to work"

 

Taught… Them’s Fighting words now days.

 

I was taught by my father "don't let the company screw you".

This is a case of a Polyester Pants man digging his heals in rather than respecting a reasonable request from a worker. I can guarantee you that if Schneider didn't offer me a "tall" version of the TE shirts (required when training), I wouldn't be buying my own and if they "fired" me from training over it then I'd be looking for my pound of flesh. This isn't about feelings, it's about what's fair. How would you feel wearing woman's pants as you thumped the 1,943,234,931 tires on your gas bottle? You'd either have to be pulling them up every thump or be singing mezzo soprano.

 

Also known as "well after the EEOC ruled that she has a case".

There is a big difference between what's filed in court and what can be released as a press statement (see Giuliani). I'm interested to read Walmart's response to the suit, but I've lost my free access to both Westlaw and Pacer so I doubt I, or any of us, will be able to follow along with the proceedings. My guess is that there was a "flare" discussion about this individual's uniform.



It's not 'required' required, but it's required. When the employee pushes back, it's no longer 'required' and "we've bent over backwards to accommodate".

I know there's a whole lot more to this story than any of us know. A few years ago Northridge National Laboratory claimed Schneider wrecked a 'super computer' in transit.

Lawsuit claims Schneider wrecked $13M supercomputer

Turns out Northridge National Laboratory is a guy who had been bilking the Federal Government for years and tried to use the press to bully Schneider into making a quick payout.

The Curious Case of a ‘National Laboratory’ That Collected Excess Federal Equipment

All I know about this case is from what I've read in the initial filling. From my experience, providing uniforms appropriate for female body types is not cost prohibitive, and is in fact VERY easy to do with Cintas, who I believe is Walmart's uniform provider. My question is why did the EEOC allow the lawsuit to proceed? Also, what happened to make the plaintiff seek legal redress in the first place?

Walmart may be blameless, but I will not dismiss the plantiffs' complaint out of hand.

 

If you have to pay for something required by the company, but the rest of your coworkers don't - would you be okay with it?

 

They are everywhere after the age of 25'ish a Karen begins.
