Employment Law - will not promote female employees
Logan says her boss, Diego, told her and five other women that they were his top employees but none of them would be offered promotional opportunities with the company. When asked for an explanation, Diego told them that some of his traditional clients told him they would refuse to work with women, and if any of those clients decided to take their work to another vendor, he would suffer a significant economic loss. In private conversation, Diego also told Logan she should be patient because she was in the early stages of her career and therefore still has time to receive a promotion with the company. Please discuss whether Diego's conduct violates any federal regulations and why. Please cite appropriate legal authority.
