Americas Watchdog Announces A National Investigation Regarding Gender Discrimination In Big Box Home Improvement/Hardware Stores

Americas Watchdog has initiated a national investigation of big box home improvement national retailers victimizing female employees based on gender. The focus of the investigation is everything from job assignments that limit promotion and steer female employees to or away from certain positions, to unequal health care benefits. As an example, at one national chain, certain health care plans preclude birth control pills for female employees, while covering such things as vasectomy and Viagra for male employees. The same chain typically puts female employees in the specific departments such as home decor sales, or check out clerks, rather than allowing them to advance within various store departments. Americas Watchdog's Glass Ceiling Initiative is all about creating fair work place environments for all women. Individuals with specific information about national chain home improvement stores discriminating against women should contact Americas Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466.

(PRWEB) November 3, 2008 -- Americas Watchdog is initiating a investigation of national home improvement stores for possible discrimination against female employees in areas ranging from internal promotion, to health care coverage. According to Americas Watchdog, "if a female employee of a national big box home improvement store has been subjected to job assignments with no potential for promotion, to unfair health care benefits, we want to know about it. Unfair health care benefits include offering male employees a vasectomy and Viagra as part of the health insurance plan, and then offering female employees no coverage for birth control pills". If a female employee has seen gender discrimination at a national home improvement retail store they should call Americas Watchdog at 866-714-6466.

Americas Watchdog says, "national home improvement stores are notorious for having a double standard for male and female employees, and that's wrong. Is it right for the smartest or hardest working employee in the store to be stuck at the check out stand, because she is a woman, and or is it right to offer inferior health insurance coverage to female employees? The answer is no, and we want to help the possible victims in every way possible". Female employees of big box national home improvement stores who feel like they are a victim of unequal treatment on the job should contact Americas Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466.

The group says, "we did not raise our daughters to be stuck at the check out stand, without the possibility of promotion and equality in health care benefits;and yes, the good ol boy club is alive and well in America. We want to help make things right, and we want to improve work place conditions for all working women. Starting with big box national home improvement stores". Current or former female employees of big box home improvement stores can call Americas Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466 for a confidential interview.

Americas Watchdog is all about equal opportunity for all American workers, regardless of their gender. Americas Watchdog's web site is located at Http://AmericasWatchdog.Com . Its class ceiling project is listed under current initiatives.
