UPS Women Sue for $250 Million, Alleging Systemic Job Bias - Bloomberg Law

United Parcel Service Inc. forces women to work under a double standard and holds them back with an “old boy’s club” culture in which they are paid less for equal work, denied the benefits of earned seniority, and run into a “dead end” when they try to advance, a proposed class lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco charges.

Women who are regarded as too feminine and those “who avail themselves of the company’s paid time off or flexible work schedule policy” to work part-time to care for family “are particularly vulnerable,” the suit says.

The suit seeks at least $250 million for female employees across the U.S. who have been or will be subjected to the systemic bias based on gender, age, and/or disability at any time after Nov. 9, 2017.

Is this article just a sick attempt at sarcasm or something? If anything, men should be getting a multi-billion dollar payout for systemic bias at UPS. Females comprise just a small fraction of the labor at UPS, but they are WAYYYY overrepresented in management. This allegation couldn't be anymore bassackwards. Anyone who works at UPS knows that it is controlled by the sisterhood cabal. The only part of that lawsuit with even a tinge of truth to it is the fact that straight women are not promoted nearly as fast as the lesbians.

"Three women who work in the small sort area at UPS’s Oakland hub—Galena Goins, Sonia Lopez, and Terry A. Jones-Jackson—filed the suit Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California."

Would these three women all be members of the Teamsters? If so, would they all be paid the same hourly rate as everyone else in the small sort and receive the same benefits? I'm not familiar with the pay rates and rules in California.

The female privilege is why they have an easy job in smalls, despite being unable to meet the basic employment criteria of lifting 70lbs.
