HFD has some captains who don't like women

Why are they employed with HFD? How can they be captains with that attitude?

The $190,000 review by two law firms included interviews with 112 HFD firefighters as part of an examination of the department's employment practices. Of the 112, 22 were women. Their comments varied, with more than half of the women reporting positive experiences, which they attributed to luck or “good fortune of working with excellent captains.”

“Several women who reported disparate treatment due to their gender, reported that some captains who do not like women in the Department have made it difficult for women ... ” the report said.

Pssst. Promoting a hostile work environment is against the law. Surprise. Some of these 'captains' don't like blacks, either.

“Several black firefighters indicated that there are certain stations that blacks and women are not welcome at and there are others that are ‘dumping grounds' for minorities,” the report stated.

Training is needed, but why aren't some of these 'captains' fired?
