HARLEY-DAVIDSON DEALER DISCRIMINATES AGAINST WOMAN BY NOT ALLOWING HER TO BE A MECHANIC
In California, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of his or her gender. A San Francisco woman claims that her former employer, a Harley Davison dealership, discriminated against her by not allowing her to be a mechanic. The woman was initially hired as an entry-level lot technician and completed a one-year training course as a mechanic. After completing the training, she was assigned to customer service and bookkeeping. In the mean time, the woman alleges that two less-qualified men were brought in to the dealership as mechanics, showing a need for mechanics.
It was the woman's dream to be a bike mechanic and ride with Dykes on Bikes, a women’s motorcycle enthusiasts club. By allegedly discriminating against her because of her gender, the dealership not only took away her dream, but also violated state and federal law. Discrimination of any type is not allowed in the CA workplace. This includes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, or nationality.
