Federal bureaucrats target big companies, too, because they get major press when the companies are large and when the amounts sought are huge. When they discover a deep pocket, the EEOC bureaucrats and lawyers move in for the kill. Florida s Publix Super Markets Inc., for example, is facing a class-action suit involving sexual harassment and sexual discrimination claims. Hundreds of millions of dollars could be at stake. There are 12 plaintiffs charging gender discrimination, with 9 also charging Publix with creating a pervasively hostile work environment.
Charges range from frank propositions to comments about being overweight and needing makeup.
Follow the green and ask who is behind the Publix plaintiffs. It could do better in the Publix case. The EEOC promises more class actions similar to the one filed against Mitsubishi Motors. In class actions, we can impact more people. Thus do taxeaters persecute taxpayers.
