If that story is true, then Stockman will be writing a big check. No apology to the employees and two hours of training? Obvious that Stockman doesn't take it seriously. There may be another side, but Stockman can't escape that they blew it.

Last line in the article:

"A lawyer for the bank, Jeanne Bender, said the plaintiffs previously filed a similar complaint with the Montana Human Rights Bureau, which found there was no cause for discrimination."

David, I saw that, but something doesn't jive. In the story, that was just a - thus far - unsubstantiated or unconfirmed statement made by the bank, which is the defendant. Not sure the Montana Human Rights Bureau has subpoena power to reach emails, but maybe they do. But the courts sure can. They can reach emails sent from or received on work computers, whether a work or personal email address, or to/from personal computers or devices used while at work. Would three women in a small town risk damaged reputations by falsely accusing someone of such things? I hope not, but don't know for sure.

I hope the paper gives equal space to the outcome, so we know the complete truth.

How me other employees have not spoken up because they know that nothing will happen if they go to HR?

"How me other employees..."

Freudian slip?

There is another side to this story. It will come out in and at the proper place and time. The bank President and the CEO are stand up individuals.
