Americas Watchdog Announces A National Investigation Regarding Sex Discrimination In National Retail Home Improvement/Hardware Stores
Americas Watchdog has initiated a national investigation of national retail home improvement national retailers victimizing female employees based on gender. The focus of the investigation is everything from hiring and 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 vasectomies and Viagra for male employees. The same chain typically puts female employees in the specific departments such as customer service, check out clerks, or home decor 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 retail chain home improvement stores discriminating against women should contact Americas Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466. Americas Watchdog's Web site is located at http://AmericasWatchdog.com. Their glass ceiling investigation is listed under current initiatives.
(PRWEB) November 11, 2008 -- Americas Watchdog is initiating a investigation of national retail home improvement-hardware stores for possible discrimination against female employees in areas ranging from hiring and internal promotion, to health care coverage. According to Americas Watchdog, "If a female employee of a national retail home improvement store was subjected to hiring or job assignments with no, or limited potential for promotion, to unequal health care benefits, we want to know about it. Unequal health care benefits include offering male employees vasectomy and Viagra coverage but precluding female employees from coverage for prescription 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 retail 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 checkout stand just because she is a woman? Is it right to offer inferior health insurance coverage to female employees? The obvious answers are 'no', and we want to help the possible victims in every way possible." Female employees of national home retail improvement-hardware 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 checkout stand, without the possibility of promotion and without 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 national retail home improvement stores."
Current or former female employees of national retail home improvement stores can call Americas Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466 for a confidential interview.
