Case ID: 2737 | Employment | 09/08/2004
A class action filed against the Northshore Mining Company of Silver Bay, Minnesota, by its female employees has been certified by the court. The case alleges that the company has been systematically discriminating against its female employees by offering them less pay, less training and less frequent promotions. The suit seeks an injunction against Northshore, prohibiting the company from engaging in discriminatory practices, as well as payment of lost wages due to delayed promotions, punitive damages and payment for past and future mental anguish. Northshore denies all allegations.
After analyzing over 30,000 pages of documents, a statistician employed by the plaintiffs determined that, on average, female employees have been paid almost $3000 less in regular wages and almost $1000 less in overtime wages than their male counterparts. The documents also revealed a much slower rate of advancement for women employed by Northshore. The court is currently sending notice to potential class members.
