Thanks for the info.

The lawsuit occurred back in about 1997 or so when most of the operators were White and Actors. This was around the time of the second big round of hiring of temps, the first round being during the prior investment banking slow down.

Anyway, there were about three or four really long term minority temps with more than 6 years with CSFB; one had been there more than 10 years. A certain person went around holding little secret meetings with certain temps asking them if they wanted to be hired directly by CSFB. If the temps said yes, the next thing you knew they were hired; there were no notices of vacancies and no one else knew that that a vacant position existed.

So, in one instance in which this little secret hiring practice took place (in which a temp who had been at CSFB for about two or so years was hired) one of the long term minority temps (who had been at CSFB much longer than the White Temp hired) sued charging that the little secret WORD OF MOUTH HIRING PRACTICE was unlawfully discriminatory as all of the people being hired turned out to be White. CSFB settled out of court.

Now the same temp that sued called in his availability for work and was told that there was no; the temp was actually being told that there was no work at exactly the same time that CSFB was HIRING that temp that would ultimately plead guilty to stealing insider info. So, the temp sued again charging that CSFB violated the settlement agreement by falsely claming that there was no work (no settlement yet).

It is settled law that WORD OF MOUTH HIRING is not COOL at the very least and unlawful in most cases. No one in their right mind would be stupid enough to go around secretly hiring temps when other temps can clearly see that hiring is going on and that no vacancy notices are being posted. It is a stupid practice that CSFB SHOULD have been sued for.

Based on your info, it appears that not only has the little secret hiring shit been stopped but some people of color have benefited from the fact that a certain person was sued twiced by the same temp. It is always a good thing when people realize that they are not bullet proof.
