When I was younger, I went to Manpower for a job. I was hired for a few jobs through them, and…read morethey all sucked. However, the worst was a manufacturing plant outside of Lawrence. They assigned jobs based on your sex. Only women were assigned to run machines, and men did every other job. It was well known, and discussed among the ladies at the plant. I told Manpower I didn't want to return to this position, and I told them I believed the plant was assigning jobs based on sex. The lady I spoke to said, "We don't believe that's happening", and wouldn't look into it any further. They won't protect you and all their jobs are shit. I later got a job with NCS Pearson which is called something else now. It's the big call center in town. I took calls for the Equal Employment Opportunity Center, and learned Manpower had an obligation to at least look into my complaint, and completely failed. I'm sure they knew they had an obligation to look into the complaint, but they don't care about the people they're sending to jobs.
