Dear Ms. Lorance,
    I have recently been told about the court situation between you and AT&T technologies in 1979. This

case was an unbelievable case about gender discrimination in the workplace.  And I feel that it was

wrong doing on AT&T's part.  I feel that from the beginning male workers had an alterior agenda to get

those women, especially you who did their job, and did it well, out of the company.  They did it in a very

clever way if I do say so myself.  They felt that it was too many of you all (women) in the company, so

they did something about it.  The day they called the meeting for the new senioity proposal that's when

you should have filed suit against the company.  The officials knew that if they guaranteed you all that

you would not be downgraded or laid off, you just would be up for advancement, you all would not take

the company to court.  As soon as the recession hit, all of you women were the first to go, and you Ms.

Lorance were downgraded- the company basically lied to you.  You had every right to take the company

to court, and you should have won the case, however, that was in a different time.  I hope you have

learned from this ordel, because I sure know I have.
