Re: Employment discrimination is alive and well

Margaret --

Intriguing case.  It almost seems an extension of the reverse discrimination
types of cases brought in the 80's (Bakke and Weber come to mind)...  One
can only sigh that a company would make a countersuit -- probably because
they know they discriminate.

Another interesting point of the article, I noticed, was that employment
discrimination lawyers are saying more often that it is now much more subtle
than it was, say, 10 years ago.  It just boggles the mind the $$, effort,
time and finagling corporations do to keep from doing what's right.  O'
course, what else is new?  They've been discriminating for eons.  All that's
really changed is that they're learning how to better cloak it...
