Court opens employers to more retaliation suits

	Return of the King writes "The U.S. Supreme Court made it easier on Thursday for an employer to be held liable for money damages when a worker has been 'retaliated' against after a discrimination complaint. This ruling means that anytime a woman alleges any type of harassment, then ANY action afterward by the company - even years later (i.e. if she fails to show up for work and is penalized, if her job responsibilities EVER change, if her title changes, if she used to file in cabinet A and now files in cabinet B ...ANYTHING... then she is now a victim of the employer and can sue for damages). It should be of no surprise that harassment cases are the fastest growing lawsuits currently in the U.S. The court ruled workers can collect damages even if the retaliation did not involve a firing or lost wages (?!)"

Undermine the rights of all men... (Score:2) by Return of the King on 03:45 PM June 23rd, 2006 EST (#1) The matriarchy is designing the US to be a country where it is a liability for a man to hold a position higher than that of woman in a company. Feminism is discouraging boys in academia. Feminism basis work promotion upon merit, not ability. More girls are graduating than boys. In the workplace it is now a liability for a man to manage women.... by the creation of laws like this. This is how the matriarchy intends to place men into a secondary class status.
