Discrimination charges.
I recently observed an individual who openly stated that he would only consider employment of a specific gender for a position. Sure enough, he awarded the position to an individual of that gender without ever interviewing members of the opposite gender.
I decided to go to the EEOC web site to see what the procedure is to file suit. This is were you come in. I am asking a few of you to confirm that this government agency website on a secure sever displays this content. We need to think twice about what we are trusting from the Web. https://publicportal.eeoc.gov/portal/ I am also wondering why this particular page has been targeted. I wonder if 1000s of other have attempted to file a similar claim and someone is blocking it. Call it conspiracy theory if you wish, however if so please provide me an alternative theory. |

I played around over there for a bit, and it appears the only page that doesn't work is the one you linked to.

Discrimination
This is merely an observation, and is not directed at the OP......am I the only one who’s sick to death of so many playing the “discrimination card”? It’s become the in thing to sue on the basis of gender, race, age......anything that doesn’t go an individual’s way. Don’t get me wrong....discrimination is wrong....but some of the claims are off the charts. JMO.

About 20 yrs ago I worked in a small sub shop in MA. The man who hired me
sold the business back to the original owner, a Greek gentleman, and he dIid renovations so I was unemployed for a short time. He hired me back and after about a year I asked another woman working there (she was Brazilian), why no other Americans worked for him and she said he doesn't hire Americans because they don't want to work and are always out sick or looking for time off. I asked the owner about it and he said he hired me because I was married w/ kids. I wasn't offended but I learned how to speak Spanish w/o Babbel.com Discrimination's out there. Good luck filing a complaint. |

Hard to say what the right answer is here, ideally it would be awesome if none of this existed. |

Discrimination can be a funny thing. In some fields, such as tech and life sciences, it can be REALLY difficult to find senior scientific women. So for some companies, if they want any significant female representation in senior ranks, they have to work extra hard to find women for less technical positions, such as CFO, VP of HR, Marketing, etc. Restaurant kitchens, baygo's field, are also dominated by men. These male dominated businesses are very hard on many women at the lower ranks and make women's career progress tougher (ask your daughters, nieces, etc). In these situations--where the playing field is not level for women from the start--sometimes "discrimination" is more fair for the people and better for the company. |

All depends on “what is … is!”
RSA 354-A:6 Opportunity for Employment Without Discrimination a Civil Right. – The opportunity to obtain employment without discrimination because of age, sex, gender identity, race, creed, color, marital status, physical or mental disability or national origin is hereby recognized and declared to be a civil right. In addition, no person shall be denied the benefits of the rights afforded by this section on account of that person's sexual orientation. RSA 354-A:2 Definitions. – VII. "Employer" does not include any employer with fewer than 6 persons in its employ, … http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/...XXXI-354-A.htm NH Municipal Association (NHMA) “Under federal law, companies with 15 or more employees are covered by Title VII, which prohibits discrimination in employment. They are also covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits discrimination based on genetic information. Companies with 20 or more employees are subject to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the federal law that prohibits discrimination against employees 40 years or older. The New Hampshire statute applies to all employees over the age of 18. Companies with four or more employees must comply with the employment discrimination provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of citizenship status. And all companies of any size must pay men and women equally for doing equal work, by virtue of the Equal Pay Act. Additionally, New Hampshire companies with six or more employees are subject to the state's anti-discrimination law. We must also remember that Pregnancy Discrimination is prohibited by law in the state. NH RSA 354-A:7 VI provides female employees the ability to take leave of absence for the period of temporary physical disability resulting from pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions.” |

My question is does this thread belong here? I think not.

Unless you were an "injured party" (applied for but did not get the job) you may not be considered to have standing to file a law suit. You can contact the Attorney General's office to make a complaint though.
Good luck! |

Either way it works now. Either it was fixed or it was just the mobile site that was affected.

I agree I could have accomplished this to a higher level had I posted to a larger platform such as Facebook. Unfortunately a week or so before I discovered the issue I ran over my cellphone with a lawnmower and have been unable to recall/retrieve my password. I was simply in search of someone to confirm my findings in regards to the security of a “.gov” secured website. If this has been interpreted as political, and that I was placing blame on Trump for the failure in security, I apologize. That was not my intent. I have turned to this forum many times over the past decade four a number of reasons. I sincerely value the response you have all provided. Sorry if some feathers were ruffled. |
