Reading the DoL press release[1], it seems that the headline might be misleading. It said that they found that B&H "OFCCP found that B&H’s Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse [...] [r]elegated Hispanic warehouse workers to separate, unsanitary and often inoperable restrooms" Previous to that, it says "OFCCP found that [...] B&H’s Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse exclusively hired Hispanic men into its entry-level laborer job group, contributing to the complete exclusion of female employees at the warehouse and the near exclusion of black and Asian employees at the facility." Seeing that all entry-level workers were apparently Hispanic, it seems reasonable that the unsanitary restrooms might be on the warehouse floor, where the staff may have been 100% Hispanic. Likewise, the press release claims that they "[f]ailed to provide designated restroom or changing facilities for females". Note that above, there were no female employees at that location. Again, that doesn't make it right, but it's also not the case that B&H had women working in the warehouse that had to share a restroom with male employees. My intuition tells me that the lack of women's facilities was being used as justification for not hiring female employees. In summary, B&H definitely did wrong here. It's just very frustrating to me that the reporting on this was so shallow. 1: https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/20160225-2 https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/20160225-2
