Gender Discrimination Cases

While unequal pay continues to be a problem in the United States, as of late, we have witnessed an increasing number of reversed gender discrimination cases. A reversed gender discrimination case is when a man is treated worse than a woman due to the fact he is a man. Examples of reversed gender discrimination cases we have been involved in include a woman owner of a famous fast food restaurant deciding that she needed a woman to manage her restaurant and firing my client who was a man. In another case, a woman decided that she preferred women to do computer graphics work and fired out male client. Some cases have involved women believing that having a man in the clerical pool would disrupt the sense of congeniality.

The issue of gender discrimination may also come up when a male industrial worker is injured. An appropriate reasonable accommodation for a permanent disability, or work related injury, may include office work. While the man may be capable of performing office work, a myriad of excuses are made to prevent him from working in the female dominated part of the office.

Needless to say, women continue to experience gender discrimination other than merely in their wages. Sometimes working outside, in the field, is the next step to a promotion. The male employees may enjoy telling dirty jokes on drives in the field, or acting grossly so they prevent women from entering into the field work. Right now we have a case involving the insurance industry where it is quite obvious that if women want to work in the field they need to make themselves available for sexual harassment, gender degrading jokes on the radio, flirtation, and possible hotel sex.
