Possible Legal Action

It is unfortunate that I must post this notice to the owners of Petroleum Strategies, but I have been contacted by one of their employees to represent her. Ms. Bailey Brown has served as a loyal employee for PSI for many years (when she's not in school, taking driving lessons, tending to her puppy, taking naps or otherwise unavailable). Recently the PSI owners provided an all expense paid trip for all employees and their families to beautiful Lake Tahoe where they enjoyed many days of revelry and frivolity.

Unfortunately, in what appears to be blantant discrimination against those employees of color (Bailey's last name is Brown; coincidental, I think not), Ms. Brown and her family were intentionally excluded from participation. What is even more disheartening is that this discrimation took place so close to Martin Luther King Day. As a PSI employee, she was entitled to full participation in all benefits provided to other employees. This discrimation is a clear violation of Section 2345.0234.504(a)(3)(iii) of the EEOC Regulations. While some may think it an obscure area of the law, this Sectioon provides that "no person with the last name of Brown or Black may be intentionally excluded from company ski trips, so long as that person has received W2 wages from said company within the last 12 months." Ms. Brown clearly falls within this section and thus is entitled to damages. Given the glowing reviews of the company trip, the damages are clearly very significant. A formal complaint with the EEOC will be filed if this demand is not met with a timely and satisfactory response.

The remedy provided under the EEOC Regulations in the event of a violation of Section 234515465135.45673.4545 (s)(23)(iv) (or whatever that section is) is that Ms. Brown and her family (including aunts, uncles and cousins) must be provided with a trip of similar value and experience within the next 12 calendar months. The extra family members are required to be included as under the treble damage provision. As the attorney for Ms. Brown, I have agreed to represent her as a part of my pro bono work for the downtrodden and disinfranchised.

I look forward to your timely reply.
