(When females notice whatever is going on and they band together to get a class action lawsuit or something.) If I were you, I would just keep my nose clean. Do not engage in this kind of activity yourself. I would sort of distance myself from those people that are knowingly doing wrong things. (the guys doing the fist signs in women's faces) Depends on whatever your situation is if you want to be the whistle blower......because I am sure that what this company is doing is wrong. But it could entail you not having a job anymore if the company gets shut down or if they fire you for reporting what you have seen. I know here in Texas people can be fired at will. They don't even have to have a reason. They can probably hire and promote at will too.

Anyways this all probably depends on what the laws of the state where the department store has it's business license is located.....Or that is my guess.

I am sure a law student or lawyer could give you better advice.

But yes it looks like you are in a shitty situation.

Hard to believe we havent come so far after all.....at certain companies.
I'm sure nothing like this ever happens in the North or anywhere else in the USA. Why does it always have to be the Souths problem.
