No Parking, No Discrimination

Thanks to Scott McArthur of the McArthur's Rant blog for posting my answer to a question regarding whether a company providing designated parking spots for women in an area where crime was higher constituted possible discrimination. I didn't find it discriminatory. I found it sort of silly. The full post can be seen here.

.….and finally blogger Michael VanDervort calls for a more pragmatic approach….It's not discrimination. It should be a matter of common sense, although perhaps if muggings are the reason, more security would be in order.

Scott,

Thanks for the mention in your blog. Sometimes the trouble with business and HR is we can make a huge deal out something important, yet not very complicated, i.e. parking.

I found the speculation by the different respondents regarding the rationale of the company for the approach it took with signs to be very interesting.
