College Official: Construction Site Must Replace 'Sexist' Men Working Sign
Breitbart ^

Posted on 12/05/2012 8:18:43 PM PST by chessplayer

The “Men Working” sign is a standard fixture at construction sites, warning passersby that they should be on guard due to potentially dangerous work. That doesn’t seem controversial, but an Ohio college official has declared it anti-women.

At Ohio’s Sinclair Community College, Elizabeth Verzi, the school’s Manager of Construction and Planning, ordered the crew to remove a Men Working sign that she called "sexist."

The incident occurred the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, as an ALL-MALE construction crew from the company JCrane was working in an area of Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio. The crew was told to immediately cease all work until the "sexist sign" was removed. Crew foreman Matt Peters initially thought the request was a joke, and the work continued. Sinclair employee Jim Fauzy appeared on site to say that the men needed to stop immediately until the Men Working sign was gone.

Breitbart News spoke to foreman Matt Peters, who confirmed that Liz Verzi told him in a meeting that the sign was sexist and should be replaced with a "Crew Working" sign. Peters quoted Ms. Verzi as saying, “That sign is sexist and it’s not up for discussion.”

Well, if the crews are union crews, they could put up MEN NOT WORKING signs.

From the article:
The incident caused serious fallout. Jcrane, Inc. owner Jack Stull said in a letter that he would continue the work but would not replace the sign. “I’m through with appeasing, I’m tired of political correctness, and I’m no longer fearful of their media or their lawsuits," he insisted. "I will stand for truth.”

Um,Irony that can kill is when the very action of women having to protect other women from the idea that they arent equal to men, actually proves the exact opposite point they are trying to protest.

I wonder if Ms. Verzi’s bathroom door says “Crew.”

I wonder if she is a member of any organization that has the word “women” in its title?

"Actual Work Going On Up Ahead. Stop Texting While You Drive For A Minute M'Kay?"

they could put up MEN NOT WORKING signs.

We did that at a state site. We used black decals and put "NOT" between the MEN and WORKING on two signs. Took them three days to notice.

Perhaps this should be sent to Ms. Verzi. Might it pass muster?
