Woman files lawsuit against Tulsa-based toolmaker
April 10, 2009
A woman has filed a federal class action lawsuit against a Tulsa-based construction industry toolmaker, claiming gender discrimination.
Plaintiff Ronica Tabor alleges in a complaint filed Tuesday that a district manager at Hilti North America told her that women had to work harder than men to learn how to use and sell tools, “because tools are like guns, which come natural to men.”
Tabor also alleges the manager told her to discuss the position she was interviewing for with her husband because “she had a young child.” Susie Wellendorf, a spokeswoman for the company, said Tabor’s claims were without merit and that Hilti would “vigorously defend itself against these false allegations.”
