That's a pretty silly distinction. Why should one's job title determine whether or not they can be discriminated against?

It has to do with how the lawsuits work. It would still be wrong regardless of whether it was actually illegal.

Yet, you've stated you don't want to allow certain people to file these lawsuits, which are usually the only way of trying to correct the problem. So tell me, why is it ok to deprive some people of this remedy simply because of their job title?
