Discrimination suit
Posted By: Lillybelle on 2007-04-06
In Reply to: In America there is a law against discriminating against (nm) - workers based on AGE.
I know there's that law that protects us from discrimination when we are between 40 and 70. However, it would be difficult to prove that this was their reason for not hiring me. I'm sure they would come up with some other excuse. And, I doubt if the Labor Board would fight with them. As a matter of fact, I am past the time limit on reporting that, as it happened more than 6 months ago (I think 6 months is the time limit for filing the complaint). As for a separate civil suit, that would probably be more trouble than it's worth. But, in the future, I will keep better notes and will create a paper trail just in case.

It's discrimination??
Because they don't hire MTs residing in California, that is discrimination? No, it is not the same as racism. That is really ridiculous. It's only common sense that some business law must come into play here.
Age & sex discrimination are still very much out
s
discrimination hmm
Wouldn't that be a form of discrimination...hmmm
It's still DISCRIMINATION.
.
AGE discrimination, that is
of course. I can't get pregnant (unless as Mary and Joseph got impregnated), and don't expect that to happen and hope not -- so I get no PAID BENEFITS????
I didn't compare that to vacation in my post, by the way. Read carefully.
How could it be anything different than age discrimination. Seems so to me.
Because age discrimination is against the law sm
She was saying her husband's company makes people sign something that allows the company to look into their medical history and to see if they will use too much insurance. That's biased toward the elderly.
LOL .. Hardly age discrimination since we
Seriously!
AKA: "Age Discrimination" (nm)
.
Some people think race discrimination is okay too sm
That's why we have laws. Civil Rights. Cannot descriminate for employment for age, sex or race.
I read the post completely and see absolutely nothing regarding age discrimination
You are reading between lines and not too well at that. If you are paying someone a huge salary, you have the choice of not wanting someone who might be there 1 day and not the next. Has nothing to do with age. It has to do with their wellness.
Ok, which suit are you?? Have you seen the bad

He is not a suit...sm
I worked at SS at the same time that Clifton worked there. He was not a suit; he was an MT and what he has posted is true. I remember the incident.
No, I'm not a suit.
I'm an MT with 30 years of experience like everyone else here who has just been sold down the river.
Are you that hard up for a job? Maybe OSi will suit you.
good luck
Thank you, suit-wearer.
Yes please - WMX follow suit!
We need more work.
Methingks this is a Suit.
Methinks this is another Suit.

How original, Ms. Suit!
Dude. Yer a SUIT.

Funny but your own comments seem to suit YOU to a T lol

(Middle-management Suit.)
Spoken like a true suit.
Please don't jump ship, it's scary out there, and be grateful we didn't cut your pay even more! I think anyone unhappy about receiving a pay cut & having to do more lines on this horrible VR to make up for it deserves to be upset right now. Many of the smaller companies have tried VR and decided to do away with it, so I don't agree that's it's going to be an across-the-board thing of the future. The quality it spits out is horrible, which in turn endangers the patients, just like offshoring.
Is "indigo" the color of your SUIT?
Alltype changes the rules as they go to suit them.
IMO, they'll tell you one thing when interviewed, but the numbers just don't add up and definitely show in your pay. They love to send reminder emails regarding working holidays unless scheduled off, and when you do there is no work. Then, as you sit isolated from your family on the holidays, you get the peppy little emails saying check with your team leader to see if you can take off an hour here and there, and work them later in the day as you are not allowed to take ANY time off without pay (even if there is no work). Their TAT is more important that your time with your family, also IMO. If you don't/can't meet your required line count for full-time, they put you on part-time status. If you're already part-time and don't/can't meet your line count, they put you on IC status (and expect you to work their schedule with minimum line count requirement of 600 lines per day).
Management is demeaning, curt, and unprofessional, and human resources person is worse, also IMO. Check archives about email resignation that may or may not have been initiated by human resources...and be very cautious about what they (management) tell you. The term snakes comes to mind...but, of course, that is just my opinion. They used to be a nice place to work years ago when G ran it.
Now I ain't sayin she a suit-kisser, but she ain't (nm)

Not only bringing suit, but our profession's tendency - sm
for it's members to behave like pirhanas towards one another whenever someone mentions something different. Yes, this topic IN GENERAL has been on the news before, but it needs to get more up-close and personal. To begin with, showing what MT really is, how it works, who does it and where, and how it integrates with their doctors, their insurance, and their healthcare, and just HOW MUCH of their personal, NON-MEDICAL information is really contained in their medical records. Then they might just START to care.
A suit actually called MQ MTs typing monkeys?
OMG that's unbelievable. That's what this biz is coming to, no respect at all except from one another. How did he get caught with his big ole stinky foot in his mouth?
I think everyone should file a class-action suit
She sounds like future SUIT material, to me.

Flames? Putting on my flame retardant suit. sm
So what if some are happy and express their feelings about a company. If given the companies and the reasons, each of us can use this info as we need to. The remarks that just say Stay away don't help anyone. In fact, makes me wonder what the poster did that contributed to the bad remark. If someone disagrees with your reaction to a company and flames you or if you get flamed for giving reasons, seems to me you are getting flamed one way of the other. Might as well give reasons and help educate the rest of us. And no one knows who you are, what do you care about the flames? Actually, when I get flamed, I have to smile a little to think about how I got everyone excited for a few minutes.
Glad for you! Let's hope Webmedx will follow suit.
