The new president of our company told us last month that open jobs would go up for bid. Any employees interested in the open position would have a chance to sign the bid. The job would be given to the employee who was most qualified and if two employees who are equally qualified bid on the same job it would then be given to the employee with the most senoirity. Recently a job came open but was not posted. The job was given to a male emlployee. I am better qualified for this position and I have more senoirity than this man. I was even asked to train this employee on his new job. I asked our plant manager if my training this guy meant that I would not be given the oppertunity to run this job myself. He said no that was not what was meant but I was needed elsewhere. I explained to him that I would rather have this position because it pays more money.He said we will talk about this later then turned into the office and closed the door. The very next morning a supervisor told me to go down to another department to work. Again,I am not only better qualified (I did train this man) but I also have more senoirity. Heck this guy was even being paid more than I was while I was training him.
In the past four months I have been told by a supervisor that he would not have given me a job in his department because I was a girl. He said it was dangerous enough for a man let alone have a woman in there doing the job. Another supervisor said he would never have another woman running the machine in his department because women are always taking time off for cramps and female stuff. There is now a female running the machine in his departemnt however.
My husband is a supervisor in this company. What can I do? Neither of us can afford to loose our jobs. If he sticks up for me we will both be fired. :mad: We are desperate here in Ohio!
