An assistant store manager at Costco Wholesale Corp. filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the retail chain Tuesday, alleging that she was passed over for a promotion 【B1】______ .
The suit, 【B2】______ , claims that females rarely get high-level management jobs.
The lead attorney in the case, Brad Seligman, executive director of the nonprofit Impact Fund, is also suing Wal-Mart Stores Inc. , alleging that the Arkansas-based retailer pays women lower wages and promotes them less than their male counterparts. 【B3】______ .
But it is stalled in an appeals court, and the merits have not been litigated.
The Costco case concerns Shirley "Rae" Ellis of Aurora, Colo. , who was hired six years ago amid what she says were promises of a promotion within a year from her assistant manager post to an in-store manager at one of the chain’s 320 U. S.-based outlets.
【B4】______ . "I would put my management ability against any manager," she said.
Issaquah, Wash. -based Costco, which employs about 103,000 people worldwide, did not immediately return calls for comment.
The suit, which focuses on in-store assistant manager and manager positions, claims that 50 percent of the chain’s employees are female, but the management "is virtually all male. "
The suit says only 12 percent of Costco’s store managers and two of 30 upper-level executives are women.
Ellis is seeking unspecified damages, including lost wages, and wants the company to post its managerial positions to its employees.
No hearing has been set for a judge to determine whether the lawsuit will represent all current and former female employees 【B5】______ .
Assistant managers receive about $65,000 or more, and managers get more than $100,000 plus bonuses, according to Seligman. He said the suit was about "changing the way Costco does business. "
Costco shares rose 39 cents to $41.21 Tuesday on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
A. who might have been wrongly passed over for a promotion to assistant manager or manager
B. that case, which was granted class-action status, represents as many as 1.6 million current and former female Wal-Mart employees
C. because the company’s policies discriminate against women in upper management
D. she said the retailer does not post job offerings for its managerial posts
E. who seeks higher position over the past few years but failed
F. obviously the managers don’t promote female employees
G. she was supported by most of the female employees in the company
H. which seeks class-action status to represent what the plaintiff’s lawyers say could be 650 women
【B4】______
