EEOC Brings Class Action Against Prime for Sex Discrimination

That would not have anything to do with a lawsuit now,would it?

 

If men cannot be suitable trainers for women, then how on Earth did we ever learn how to open the front door and get jobs? Who trained the first female police officer? Firefighter? Doctor? Soldier?

I believe a suitable trainer for the tanker division would have been male. But they refused to allow me the chance. Every major job I have had in my life, I was trained to do by men. This includes the job I am doing right now. Oh...I didn't sleep with, nor was I ever asked to sleep with, any of those men.

Prime now seems to think it's okay for men to train women. At the time, it was closed to me. If I'd had a d***, it would have been no problem. I didn't (and still don't) and as a direct result, was denied entrance into a higher paying position. I have no idea how you can define it any other way.

Does it really matter wwhythat drunk driver was drinking? Your brother is still dead. And I am out all that money, despite the FACT I met all necessary criteria to advance.

 

The policy was vacated very shortly before I left the company. I had already lost my house and was on the verge of losing my pickup. I couldn't afford to stay any longer.

 

If you had appllied as an experienced tank operator would they have hired you into that division?

 

I have a question for the lawyer.

If Prime follows your logic and begins to "compel" drivers to become trainers and therefore in your logic take on females as trainees and one refuse to do so because ones Church says one should not as a married individual put oneself in a situation where one is living with an opposite gender person who is not ones spouse, and that person is then terminated, will you take that case due to his/her religion being discriminated? It may come off as snarky and it may partly be so. But really it is the question I have for you.

 

What difference does it make? I was equally qualified as any of the men, yet was passed over.

So now women have to be higher qualified in order to get the same job as a less qualified man? This just keeps getting better and better!

 

THANK YOU​

THIS SHOULD BE A REQUIRED READ BEFORE POSTING ON THIS THREAD​

Labagiamf...Not to be a jerk but....What about it???

You quoted me where I posted that this case is only here because I posted that one man made a mistake and was then sued by a woman for it.That is why Prime changed the training to male-male female female trainers.That is the only reason this current lawsuit exists.

The response to my quote is Apples To Oranges

I agree that some women use it to their advantage to sue large companies for discrimination.
The case we are talking about is over and clearly there was somthing that the male employee did that was wrong.Not nearly as wrong as what she sued Prime and the man for.

Intresting read here

Your statement is misleading, In the EEOC document the plantiff (Huffman) was awarded 5,000 dollars lost wages and 80,000 dollars in punitive damages.

Her legal team lost the battle against New Prime, Inc.

The fact is She was mistreated as a person, human, citizen, driver and last but not least a woman.

What we have here is a ruling of a civil action. The EEOC hearing and judgement stands on its own with or without the U.S. District Court case King's Vs Prime.

In the second case, Dismissed was issued, No ruling or arbitration. it was a Moot case.

 

Eventually the same suit... two other plantiffs got lumped in with Huffman along with the EEOC. "Consolidated" Virginia King

http://www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/EE-MO-0062-0004.pdf

While the things I read in this case are horrible for Ms. King, the EEOC was involved and a couple of the arguments made is that Prime should have known that this would happen and facilited it by not providing a female trainer.

Now how Prime should have known the trainer was a rapist is beyond me... its not in the lawsuit.

Point 38 deals with Prime's responsibilities before the rape. point 39 is after the rape

38. Defendant knew or should have known that to leave Plaintiff-Intervenor King in
the truck and assign as a trainer, Defendant Littlejohn, to the Plaintiff-Intervenor would subject
her to a high likelihood of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, molestation, threats and potentially
rape. Such acts by the Defendant Prime are negligent and Defendant Prime knew or should have
known that both the assignment to Defendant Littlejohn as Plaintiff-Intervenor King's trainer and
leaving her with Defendant Littlejohn for any extended period of time would result in and likely​

cause emotional harm and trauma to the Plaintiff-Intervenor.

39. After Plaintiff-Intervenor King had been raped by Defendant Littlejohn, the​

Defendant Prime................

 

The fact is that it was a Prime company policy,designed by them to protect themselves.
I don't think prime is saying that nowhere in the world,and in no occupation should men not train women. Or did I miss where they said that?

Because other companies allow men to train women,then prime should be obliged to do so too? Is that what you are saying?

You did not file suit against Prime,By your argument,neither the woman mentioned in the first post of this thread,nor the one who sued after being raped in a prime truck should have sued then,am I correct?

And that you never did ,nor was not asked to sleep with any of the men who never trained you,is neither here nor there, at least not to prime.
What help is that little fact going to be to prime if they are sued in the future if a male is alleged to have harassed a female trainee?
Can your not ever been harassed be used as defence by prime? If not,what is your point?

And you did not meet all criteria to advance. You wanted to do tanker ,which needs specialized training. You did not have that training, which means you were unqualified to do the job. You were not unqualified simply because you were female.You were unqualified because you didn't have the training. There is a difference.
Prime had a policy to protect itself,something with which you seem to have a fundamental problem with.
That policy was ,females had to be trained by females.
That there were no female trainers available was,to my mind,beyond prime's control.
You were not to be forced into training even though you are qualified to train. Presumably prime could not force other females to train.

And since you brought up "extraneous" matter,I can't see what relevance drunk driving brother killers have to do with anything i am saying
Are you expecting me to get teary eyed and emotional at the thought of drunk drivers killing people's brothers? I don't get the point.
