Sears Sues Government Over Hiring Rules to Halt Penalties
Sears filed a class action in DC federal court requesting a stay on penalties for employment discrimination until guidelines resolve conflicts among agencies. The suit targets cabinet secretaries and the EEOC, arguing government-made workforce composition, not private firms, shapes hiring. Board Chairman Edward Telling asserts Civil Rights Act logic is sound and cites progress in Sears affirmative action since 1968. The filing includes plaintiff class of general merchandise retailers with over 15 employees and notes minority and female representation at Sears has risen since 1965.
