Question:
Dewhurst was a female flight attendant with Sub-
Central Airlines. Sub-Central’s employment policies prohibited female attendants from being married, but married male employees were employed by Sub-
Central. Dewhurst was married on June 15, 1980.
She was discharged by Sub-Central the next day.
Sub-Central, under pressure from the EEOC, eliminated the “no-married females” rule in March 1982.
Dewhurst was rehired by Sub-Central on February 1, 1983. Sub-Central refused to recognize her seniority for her past employment with Sub-
Central as the company’s policy is to refuse to recognize prior service for all former employees who are rehired.
Dewhurst filed a complaint with the EEOC on March 1, 1983, alleging that Sub-Central’s refusal to credit her with prior seniority violated Title VII.
Is her complaint validly filed with EEOC? See United Airlines v. Evans [431 U.S. 553 (1977)].
