I'm not one to usually go and tell you to file a formal complaint involving a lawyer or the government, but that's what the "EEOC" (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) is for.....It might fall under "Hostile work Environment" or some such thing (I think that "sexual harrassment" would be the female supervisor constantly telling dirty sex jokes or pinching the behinds of male members, etc.), but definitely if one gender or race is being treated different, better, or worse than another, than I'd check on that route. Get up with any reputable lawyer who can maybe hook you up with a civil rights attorney and get their advice on this. If a sensible civil rights type lawsuit is pending against a company...then I GUARANTEE YOU THAT AS SURE AS THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST AND SETS IN THE WEST, that company and all supervisors, etc. will take your complaints as seriously as Moses took the 2 tablets back to "his people" as law......It's either that, or face a multi-million dollar lawsuit and penalty. It kind of bothers me that your supervisors seemed to be kind of cavalier towards your complaints....particularly if they came from more than one employee. The civil rights stuff cuts both ways, and use it if you are truly being treated unfairly...I would.

I would try to get video footage of the things that are going on. Be able to SHOW the people that sign the checks, exactly what they are paying for. Nothing backs up the truth like a good video tape.

I remember back in the 60's women were getting done this way by their male co-workers in the big plants around here. Looks like the worm has turned for the women now , and they havent forgotten. Women never forget anything that does not set well with them. Never. good luck

IT'S SEXUAL HARASSMENT REVERSED AND THE LAW PROHIBITS THAT, BUT TRY GETTING A COURT DATE FOR THAT...ha!

is this an inappropriate time to ask for pics?

The criteria for sexual harrasement is when the employee/s are being inappropiately touched, or verbally insulted with sexual conversations, insinuations or being exposed to sexually graphic material by a co-worker or superior that is opposite or same gender...
Like I said, the worm has turned.....

No, I stick with the harassment charge. While they may not be harassed sexually, they are being harassed on the job whike the females are not, i.e. due to their sex.
If they were simply required or expected to do more of the work as a matter of course, day in and day out, or they were denied usual and customary accomodations, such as rest room breaks, then I'd go along with the discrimination angle.
The differences are sublte. I'd be interested to know what a trained legal beagle has to say.
