Women workers are "only good for the bed"

So says the owner of Threemile Canyon Farms in rural eastern Oregon. In September of this year, a lawsuit against the dairy farm was settled out of court and owner agreed to hire more women. Since that time, he has not only hired more women, but owner A.J. Bos has stated that "I don't want women at the farm--they are only good for the bed."

Now another sexual bias suit has been filed against him, and there is a movement by labor unions and religious leaders to put pressure on lender Bank of the West, which extended Threemile Canyon Farms a $101 million line of credit, to demand that Bos end his discriminatory practices.

Yes, religious leaders. And that is a piece of good news.
