United States Sues New York Company Vamco Sheet Metals for Sex Discrimination

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) of the United States Government has sued Vamco Sheet Metals of New York on behalf of female sheet metal workers for treating those workers differently than their male counterparts because of their sex. The EEOC alleges that the company fired the female employees after they sought help from the union for unequal treatment, which treatment included assigning them to demeaning tasks like fetching the bosses' coffee, counting the time they spent in the bathroom, and denying them the right to pump breast milk. Good luck to these courageous women!
