[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 179582, member: 6408"] I have to agree with this one. I, personally, am against affirmative action in any area. I think one should be hired or promoted on merit, not on quota. Here,locally, I think the hiring process has been very fair, unfortunately, it LOOKS unbalanced. Why? Exam: We had one long-time female that broke ground here. Was one of first to be hired, male or female. Was feeder driver til retired. Worked her arse off! Never asked for nor received a quarter. Helped YOU hook up your doubles, you helped HER do same. Would shift, work as directed, not a bit of slack in her stride. Nobody had a problem with her. We didn't care if she was female. On the other hand, a couple were hired that just couldn't make it. One had to be given an extra SEVEN weeks of training! Could I have been afforded that? Went bezerk at the first hint of snow or ice. Had meltdown one storm when everyone else had no trouble. Called it "Panic Attack". Finally got fired for refusing to work as directed. Had to go home to take adult child to DR! Another has been complete pain in the rear from day one. Threatening to file harass suits everwhere! On ties and hrlys. Calls in sick regularly, goes home sick regularly, etc. Others have tried but just can't make it. Is it prejudice? Here, I don't think so, I've seen most of em and I wouldn't hire em, male OR female!
