Do YOU Have a Problem? Dont keep it a Secret! We Can Help!
Secrecy is a weapon used to keep gender discrimination cases under
the carpet, not just to keep the knowledge from becoming public, but to prevent
women from networking and helping each other. Women on the same campus often dont
know about each others problems. For example, four UCLA professors with grievances
or suits had to go to a WAGE meeting in Berkeley to find out about each others
cases for the first time. The women, representing two different UCLA Schools,
were extremely pleased to discover campus compatriots to share strategies and to
form a support group. WAGE has established a network of mentors, attorneys, campus
representatives and other supporters willing to help you at every stage, beginning
as soon as you see a problem developing. Together we are learning from each other
what cases to bring before campus grievance committees and, when a suit is filed,
how to fight and win against UC notoriously heavy handed, even vicious legal tactics,
not to mention their overwhelming financial resources. In addition, the EEOC is
looking for a group of similar cases. Might your case belong among them?
We would appreciate having information about your situation to add to our
growing corpus of cases. As soon as the new Regional Director of the Department
of Labor is appointed, we will be bringing our databases to that office.
A US Labor Department investigation of systemic gender discrimination within UC
is long overdue.
