I am a telecom installer in AT&T and Verizon central offices (read my story)Is my situation discrimination?
I worked in a central office installing telecom equipment and was reported to my company because I carry a pink toolbox and I also have a few pink tools. After working in the office, the office technician called my company and told them I could not have my toolbox or tools in the office again. I thought it was stange that I was the subject of a complaint because of the color of my tools. What is the difference between a yellow screwdriver or a pink screwdriver...they both work the same. I also cannot wear bows in my hair, have nail polish, or anything else like that. Is this discrimination? I am really mad and I feel that I have been discriminated against because of my gender! What do you think? My coworkers had red, black, and yellow tools and boxes....but I cannot have pink! What do you think???

I would certainly look into this mater. That is ridiculous on what they did to you. I would conyact a lawyer for sure and get a free consultation. A color is a color regardless of what color it is. So what if your tools and tool case is pink. Pink also stands for Cancer awareness. Good thing I don't work there I woild have my toolbox done in PRIDE colors. But yes I do believe this is discrimanation and I would hold up for your rights. You need to find out what you can do in this situation. I have never heard such a thing before. I hope you do fight this, because you have a winning case on your hands. Good Luck to you and please let us know what happens. Take care and God Bless.

Are you a member of CWA? They'd be able to advise on this. Also, if the company provided different color tools for you, then they could be setting the standard for the tool color -- but if this is totally arbitrary then it sounds lile they're just asking for trouble and a potential lawsuit.

Anb amazing story!

I believe there are lawyers out there salivating to get a piece of this.

In the new world where gender and race is not supposed to matter, up pops this peculiar problem about the color of work tools.

Go for it!

Do some inquiring with some corporation lawyers, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

It doesn't seem overtly discriminatory to me, just stupid. You are right, It shouldn't matter what color your tools are. It seems silly to me for them to have a problem with that.

Now as for the personal effects (bows in your hair, nail polish, etc.), that sounds like a dress code issue to me. If the company dress code is clearly illustrated, there is no discrimination there. They are simply asking all employees to abide by the same rules, so there is no discrimination. Sometime companies will err on the side of caution in order to stay away from discrimination issues.

This situation would be actionable only if you were fired or otherwise forced to lose income, or were denied a promotion or a raise because of this 'discrimination'. Being denied pink tools does not constitute a 'hostile work environment.' And while others may be allowed colorful tools, red, yellow and black colors are fairly 'gender-neutral' and do not have the feminine connotations that pink definitely does.

So Sad to know this. You can always raise question about this in your company. In case of no answer follow the leagl way or rather go to press.
