06/26/2003: "Female forest workers say discrimination continues"
SAN FRANCISCO -- Thousands of women who work for the U.S. Forest Service in California are asking a federal judge to hold Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman in contempt of court. The current and former employees say she has failed to reduce workplace hostility.
The Forest Service, a division of the USDA, has been under a court-approved settlement since last year. Officials agreed to establish a three-year program to train employees and enforce women's rights in the workplace. (The Denver Channel.com)
