He was he was fired for not meeting production goals.
But Holdren said several other press operators, including a woman, had worse
performance records.
He says that's reverse discrimination and is taking Transkrit to court.
A viewer in Blacksburg says: "In the interview, the man and the news
reporter made it a point that a woman who also works at this
company was not fired even though she was not performing as
expected. This upsets me because this man said there were many
other people who also were not performing on the job but only
this one woman was pointed out as a problem. I understand that
reverse discrimination can occur, but if many other men were not
fired along with one woman, that is hardly discrimination of gender.
Perhaps it is another form of discrimination. I am frustrated
that women constantly have to prove that they deserve the jobs
they have and if they don't perform they should be the first to
go, not men in the same position. I have learned from personal
experience that I have to work much harder than my male co-workers
to maintain my position. I would appreciate in the future if your
reporters would not imply that women should be the first to be
fired when performances on the job are low.
