Is this legal? Hiring related
I found a job listing I am interested in. They need a CDL class B driver with a P endorsement, which I have. But the newspaper listing says they will only hire a female driver. Is this legal? Can a company say they only want to hire women or minorities, and male whites can not get hired?

I don't see how they can say they will only hire women. It doesn't seem right to me, the other way around either. Usually the most you will see is "Minorities and Women are encouraged to apply" or something like that. 8) 8)

I think the only way they could get away with this is either a) you're driving a van for female inmates or battered women's shelter victims of domestic(male) violence. or b) driving a bus full of female nudest around! in which case they wouldn't be needing to "pay" a male driver for that.
