EEOC Files Sex Discrimination Lawsuit Against Washington-Based Company

Federal authorities have sued a Gig Harbor-based company, alleging sex discrimination in how the company assigned work to women.
The SmartTalent staffing agency allegedly “violated federal law by repeatedly refusing to assign female workers to certain temporary jobs,” the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said in a press release Tuesday.
The News Tribune called and emailed SmartTalent on Wednesday for comment. Stephanie Ticknor, the vice president of operations, emailed a statement from the company.
