AT IT'S BEST

"I just don't understand your leap from government incompetence to saying the (worker) loses," Chief Justice John Roberts told FedEx lawyer Connie Lensing.

When a Justice Department lawyer representing the EEOC took his turn at the lectern, Justice Antonin Scalia declared, "My main concern in this case, however the decision comes out, is to do something that will require the EEOC to get its act in order, because this is nonsense."

"Employers have a duty not to violate the trust that employees repose in them and respect the confidentiality of this very personal information," said Riera.

I made a complaint to the EEOC, Jan. 2004, and the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission, Apr 2004, both of which were dismissed without any investigation, each agency sat back and waited for the submission of the company's response. Incidentally, I was contacted by the director of the EEOC, asking me if I wanted to proceed, after I was shown a copy of the company's response, which I don't believe is proper. I now see in the EEOC's and the HCRC's own publications, matters such as mine that were investigated and even adjudicated.

Keeping It Real

You can’t champion equality for your own people when you tolerate discrimination against any people because of who they are. Freedom is indivisible. You cannot grant it to some and deny it to others. It is either for everybody or it is for nobody. -- Christine Chavez, UFW

Not If It's Title Guaranty And You've Got The Hawaii EEOC In Your Pocket

UPS firing of Maui driver prompts racial bias suit

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a federal lawsuit yesterday accusing United Parcel Service of racial discrimination for firing a driver on Maui.
The commission said Carlos Harris was fired for swearing on the job while other drivers who engaged in similar conduct were disciplined less harshly. Harris, who is black, worked at UPS's Kahului facility from March 1994 to September 1998.

Timothy Riera, Honolulu office director for the commission, said Harris was fired for swearing around co-workers, not customers, and had a clean job record before that. Riera said an investigation by the commission found a marked difference in the way black and nonblack employees were treated. Attempts to settle with UPS were unsuccessful, he said.

A spokeswoman at UPS' Atlanta headquarters, Peggy Gardner, said she hadn't seen the suit and couldn't immediately comment. Lance Hirokawa, a human resources manager for UPS in Hawaii, said he didn't know about the suit and could not comment.

The lawsuit seeks back pay, reinstatement of Harris and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. It also seeks an injunction blocking the company from engaging in any discriminatory employment practices.
