Heavier People May Experience Workplace Discrimination

By GWENDOLYN FREED - Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune

job at a pharmaceutical company early in her career. She was one of two
finalists: Her competitor had a weaker academic record and no background in
sales. "They told me I didn't have enough sales experience," said Weaver.
But someone involved in the selection process later confided she had been
deemed too heavy for the job. "That hurt," said Weaver, now a diversity
specialist at American Express Financial Advisors in Minneapolis. When it
comes to girth in the workplace, there is plenty of pain to go around. With
64 percent of American adults now overweight or obese, businesses are
shouldering billions of dollars in weight-related medical claims and lost
productivity. At the same time, some heavier workers say they're tired of
insensitivity and discrimination on the job. As feelings about fitness and
fairness collide at
work, "size-ism" is emerging as the latest diversity frontier. Recent
medical research has grim implications for employers. Obesity is a greater
trigger for chronic illness than smoking, alcoholism or poverty, according
to a 2002 study by the RAND Corp., a think tank in Santa Monica, Calif. As
a result, health care costs are higher for obese people than for any other
group studied, except the elderly. The price tag for American businesses is
heavy _ $12.7 billion a year, according to the Washington Business Group on
Health, a national nonprofit organization. Given current trends, that cost
is expected to continue climbing: This week RAND reported that the ranks of
the severely obese quadrupled between 1986 and 2000. Meanwhile, in today's
competitive job market, bias against overweight people is commonplace,
obesity-rights advocates say. The overweight are slighted in the areas of
hiring, promotion, compensation and layoffs, according to Mark Roehling, an
assistant professor at Michigan State University, who reviewed 49 studies
on the subject. Roehling has interviewed dozens of heavy people about their
job-hunting experiences. One woman told him
that she sat at a job interview and watched in horror as her interviewer
wrote in big letters across the top of her resume: "TOO FAT."
Discrimination is especially acute in workplaces where a premium is placed
on personal appearance, such as executive-level positions, sales, public
relations and other areas where client contact is key, said Mary Story, a
University of Minnesota professor who studies obesity. In a 1990 study of
several hundred people by University of Vermont professor Esther Rothblum,
the heaviest were most likely to report they had been denied benefits
including health insurance because of their size. Many said they had been
fired or threatened with dismissal for weight reasons. Women suffer the
greatest unfairness, she said. "They don't have to weigh very much for
employment discrimination to kick in." Rothblum once showed a set of
identical resumes to a group of students. Half stated that the fictitious
female job seeker was 120 pounds. The other half put
her weight at 180 pounds. She asked the students to rate the woman's
professional competence and suggest her appropriate salary range. The
180-pound woman scored dramatically lower. "The amazing thing about that
experiment," Rothblum said, "is that, actually, 180 pounds is not that
heavy. Imagine what larger people experience. I think fat people
underestimate how much of their daily encounters are different because of
their weight." Legal protections for overweight workers who feel they were
discriminated against are scant. State and local disability law varies
widely when it comes to the overweight. "It's a patchwork," said Sondra
Solovay, an Oakland, Calif., attorney and author of the book, "Tipping the
Scales of Justice: Fighting Weight-Based Discrimination" (Prometheus Books;
$19). The only places in America with laws explicitly barring size
discrimination are Michigan; Washington, D.C.; San Francisco, and Santa
Cruz, Calif. In the late 1990s Champaign-Urbana, Ill., and Madison, Wis.,
passed appearance discrimination laws that potentially could extend to
cover weight-based cases. Gwendolyn Freed is at gfreed(at) tartribune.com.

SNIP STEVE CHANEY'S FORGERY

Steve Chaney is printing all of his forgeries of NR and saving them for
when she is old enough to know that her dad is sodomizing her. Note the
email address that he is so proud to forge!

apparently you issued death threats to him in a posting. The e-mail
threatening sodomizing all females in his family was from *another*

Stephen A Chaney admits to sodomizing his daughter if he forges me now.

/NR's REAL signature line

This forgery was brought to you by Stephen A. Chaney (
), a
noted net kook from the early 90's whose behavior has yet to
change in such a way that would render the usual label
applied to him -- "ragingly insane" -- inaccurate.

Everytime that Stephen A Chaney forges NR, he admits that he sodomizes his
infant daughter. He is a sick ****ing twist!!!

Mr. Chaney is mentioned twice in part 4 of the net legends
faq:

http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/fa.../legends4.html

Mr. Chaney also has his own faq, a copy of which can be
found at:

http://www.pat-acceptance.org/steve_FAQ.html

Recently, Mr. Chaney bragged about hiring a private
investigator to track down an ex girlfriend (from nine years
earlier) whom he claimed defamed him nine years ago. His
rationale for tracking her down was to be able to sue her in
case she ever defamed him again. Of course, this girlfriend
hadn't uttered a peep in Mr. Chaney's direction in the
preceding nine years. To see Mr. Chaney's explanation of
these events, see:

http://www.pat-acceptance.org/kookrant.html

http://www.pat-acceptance.org/kookrant2.html

Mr. Chaney's net-kook credentials were recently acknowledged
in alt.usnet.kooks, wherein Mr. Chaney was voted kook of the
month for July 2003.

Message ID:

Some of Mr. Chaney's other notable achievements include
initiating child molestation remarks in the newsgroup
soc.singles, running a self-acceptance/fat-acceptance
website (http://www.self-acceptance.to) while insulting the
size and weight of posters with whom he has disagreed,
posting over 10,000 forgeries of other posters to usenet,
and having a movie of his life story made and published on
the internet.

That movie can be viewed he

netkook, post them to soc.singles, and someone will
certainly be glad to answer them for you.
