| 2007-07-02 | Karen Wohlrab | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your quick response Sonia. The manager and her assistant both know he is not wearing uniform and HR questioned this. HR told them he MUST wear a uniform. Both manager state HR can't tell them "what" they must do. They told HR they were "looking" at new uniforms in the future - the manager told one of the female supervisors she didn't think it would look "right" with him wearing the same uniform - it is a black suit with white shirt - hello? how can that not look right. I am 58 years old and fought the battles "back in the day" and I assure you he will be wearing a uniform before this is over. |
| 2007-05-23 | Terry | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Wow, Thanks Sonia for the quick response. I will do as you suggest. I did go in person to the EEOC office here in Miami to present the info and they filed the charge but I guess I was so nervous about the whole thing I didn't ask all of the questions I should have. Thanks for taking the time to respond. |
