Applied for open position as telephone repairperson

Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM131193269

Linda was employed with Southern Telephone Company as a telephone operator for ten (10) years. Bored with this job, she applied for an open position as a telephone repairperson, which paid $10.00 per hour more than she was currently earning. This position required the successful candidate to be able to climb to the top of a telephone pole wearing a tool belt weighing approximately 15 to 20 lbs to make repairs. Southern Telephone Company refused to admit Linda into the training program for the position claiming that she was incapable of performing the duties of the position because she was female. For the Discussion Board please choose a side and advocate for either Linda’s point of view or for Southern Telephone Company's point of view. I expect the Discussion will point out relevant claims and defenses, and their potential success. As always, if you have “real-world” experience to offer, please feel free to include that information in the Discussion Board too. (This case is not found in the textbook).
