MAJOR FINANCIAL FIRMS SUED FOR GENDER BIAS
Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, as reported in the New York Daily News, have been sued by two female employees for gender discrimination in their employment. The plaintiff's claim that men were favored and received better assignments and larger bonuses. Additionally, there is a retaliation claim as the women claim they were punished after complaining about the treatment they had suffered.
As demonstrated in this claim, the idea of a "glass ceiling" is very real. In many industries, women have been limited in their advancement and held back by a "boys club."
