Men face bias at women's prison, too, lawyer says

Article here. Excerpt:

'It's not just female corrections officers who are being discriminated against at Michigan's only women's prison, according to those pressing a class action on behalf of male corrections officers at Women's Huron Valley prison.

On June 13, the U.S. Justice Department filed a federal lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Corrections, alleging the department discriminates against female corrections officers at the prison near Ypsilanti by designating too many positions as "women only." As a result, officials "required female employees at Huron Valley to work excessive overtime hours at a cost to their health," the suit alleges.

There's a flip side to that claim, said Tom Nowacki, a corrections officer at Women's Huron Valley since 2004 and the lead plaintiff in a class action by about 90 current and former male corrections officers at the facility: men have been unfairly excluded from certain jobs and denied overtime opportunities.'
