Amtrak was accused in a lawsuit by the EEOC of gender bias for discriminating against a female employee in pay and work assignments, and retaliating against her when she complained.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission also said it has evidence of other discrepancies in pay between male and female workers at Amtrak, the U.S. long-haul passenger rail service, but is not bringing a lawsuit on that basis now.
In a complaint filed Tuesday with the U.S. district court in Philadelphia, the EEOC said Amtrak has since 2001 “engaged in a continuous practice of suppressing” the wages of Sheila Davidson, a human resources manager assigned to its 30th Street Station in that city.
