Panel finds Auburn firm discriminated
The Maine Human Rights Commission ruled this week that Auburn manufacturer Tambrands Inc. likely discriminated against a work applicant because of his age.
The Bangor Daily News reported that the ruling was made following a report from a commission investigator that Allen Ackley was subjected to unlawful pre-employment inquiries asking him to submit his birthdate, the dates he graduated from educational institutions and photo identification. However, the investigator said, Ackley was ultimately not hired for non-discriminatory reasons.
The commission will now enter a mediation process with Ackley and Tambrands in hopes of reaching an agreeable settlement.
