Question:
The plaintiff worked in a maintenance department for the defendant, a railway company, as a forklift operator. She was the only female worker in that department, and her supervisor repeatedly told her that a woman should not be working there. Plaintiff was reassigned to a “track laborer” position. In her new job, her supervisor complained that she had been insubordinate, and she was suspended without pay during her suspension. She sued, alleging her suspension without pay amounted to retaliation. What are the ethical issues in this case? How would you decide the case from an ethical perspective?
