Description

This case is related to Sprogis v. United Air Lines, Inc., 444 F.2d 1194 (7th Cir. 1971), certiorari denied, 404 U.S. 991, 30 L. Ed. 2d 543, 92 S. Ct. 536, where we held that United's policy of refusing to employ married stewardesses was discrimination based on sex in violation of Section 703(a)(1) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2(a)(1)). During the pendency of the Sprogis appeal, Carole Romasanta1 filed the present suit on behalf of herself and other United stewardesses who were similarly discharged. Appellant Liane McDonald (""petitioner"") was a member of the putative class in Romasanta. On December 6, 1972, while defendant was still denying liability, the district court filed a memorandum opinion and order that this case should not proceed as a class action. However, the court permitted twelve former stewardesses to intervene ""by way of joinder as additional parties plaintiff"" since they had protested defendant's nomarriage rule by filing a grievance under the collective bargaining contract or by complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a comparable state agency. Petitioner and 140 other stewardesses2 were thus excluded from the case.
