If the allegation in the lawsuits are truely correct, then I believe EMC have violated the laws of

women rights. The women filed a claim, stating EMC discriminated against female employees. The

women claimed the company retalited against them by not giving her a big account. They also stated

that the women pay grade was lesser then men. The women also said they were discriminated against

because they didn’t tolerate strips clubs, swear, hunt, fish, drink, or smoke.

EMC can continue to sell as aggressively yet avoid charges of sexual harassment and sexual

discrimination by putting women in higher positions. Also by EMC starting a womens Leadership forum

that women also have rights to equal employment. This conflict can be resolved by treating women as if

they women and not a commitment. Also put women as supervisors and let women work for women

instead of working under men supervisors. Separate the women side from the men side to hold down

conflict.

If I were a HR Manager at EMC, to avoid sex discrimination lawsuits in the future I would hire

women managers and woman supervisors and let women work under women on one side of the

company and let men work for men on the other side company. This will help EMC’s business

performance because one side will try to out do the other side and as a whole the company will have

real big profits.
