Description
DIMOND, Justice Pro Tem. OPINION. Prior to July 1, 1975, positions in the steward's department of the Division of Marine Transportation (hereinafter ferry system) were sex segregated. In the steward's department, waiters and utility workers were exclusively male; matrons, exclusively female. On the six vessels of the ferry system, there were 48 males in the waiter and utility categories and 10 females in the matron category. Plaintiffs-Appellants, Berneda McLean and Fredericka Marksheffel, applied for employment on the ferry system vessels. Later, they filed complaints in the superior court, claiming that they were discriminated against because of sex, in that males who applied for work at a later date were hired first, instead of the plaintiffs. Their complaints asked for immediate employment with the ferry system, seniority status dating from the dates they sought employment, and back pay. In addition, McLean asked for wages equivalent to what the male employees were being paid.
