DENVER MINT HARASSMENT COMPLAINT FILED

  This week the Rocky Mountain News has been following the
  story of a petition submitted to the U.S. Treasury department
  by 32 women worked at the Denver Mint "alleging decades of
  harassment and discrimination by male co-workers and
  supervisors."

  "There has been unfair treatment to women in promotions,
  job assignments, training opportunities - there's been such
  harassment, and it has created an overall hostile work
  environment," said Beverly Mandigo Milne, who has
  worked at the mint since 1978."

  "The Denver Mint employs 528 people and 107 of them are
  women, according to Lynn Feiger, the attorney for the women
  who have complained formally to the U.S. Treasury
  Department, which operates the mint."

  U.S. Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore "ordered the
  immediate search of lockers, toolboxes and other areas after
  the Rocky Mountain News reported Tuesday on the
  complaint that 32 women workers filed with the U.S.
  Treasury Department."

  "The complaint said women have been denied promotions,
  training and raises; subjected to demeaning sexist comments
  from men; treated more favorably if they have sexual
  relationships with some managers;"

  "Posters of naked women on the walls and pornographic jokes
  on the government e-mail system have been common for years
  at the Denver Mint while the top brass in Washington has turned
  a blind eye, a lawyer representing several women working at the
  mint said Thursday."
