Source excerpt
NEW YORK – Corning Incorporated violated federal law by failing to promote female “process assistants” (machine operators) at its Sullivan Park and Big Flats locations in western New York, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, at its Sullivan Park and Big Flats locations, Corning grooms male process assistants for advancement, provides them with training opportunities, and bends its own eligibility rules to place them in line lead positions instead of similarly or more qualified women.
