Home U.S. World Entertainment Sports Business Health Science Technology Politics Offbeat Environment Travel EEOC sues Amtrak for gender discrimination The rail carrier allegedly retaliated against Davidson after she filed a complaint with the EEOC by banning her from senior staff meetings. Source: AHN Reporter: Kris Alingod Location: Philadelphia, PA, United States Published: February 2, 2011 9:49 a.m. EST Topics: Politics, Regulatory Policy And Organization, Labor, Justice And Rights, Labor Dispute, Crime, Law And Justice The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against Amtrak accusing the nation’s largest rail carrier of discriminating against a female employee because of her gender. According to the suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Amtrak unlawfully gave Sheila Davidson less compensation because she is a woman, and retaliated against her when she spoke out against receiving less wages than her male counterparts. The EEOC said that beginning in 2001, Amtrak paid Davidson, a human resources regional manager at the 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, the same salary as those of two male human resources regional directors despite Davidson having more relevant work experience and being assigned a greater workload. The rail carrier, officially known as the National Railroad Passenger Corp., allegedly retaliated against Davidson after she filed a complaint with the EEOC by banning her from senior staff meetings. Amtrak has not issued a statement on the lawsuit. The Washington, D.C.-based government-owned corporation says on its website it "does not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran’s status." The EEOC said it filed the suit after trying to reach a pre-litigation agreement with Amtrak. The agency is seeking injunctive relief from discriminatory practices, as well as lost wages and punitive damages for Davidson. Republish Email Facebook Digg Twitter Buzz Up!
