BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Adult sex toy company Adam and Eve doesn’t want Adam working in sales, according to a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit reported by the Associated Press on Sunday.

The Hillsborough, North Carolina-based retail chain, whose parent company is PHE Inc., is accused of denying sales positions to men at North Carolina and South Carolina stores, according to the wire service.

According to the complaint, one man tried to get hired at multiple outlets, but workers allegedly told him men are hired only for receiving and unpacking positions.

Meanwhile, the EEOC says it wants financial compensation for male applicants and the chain to stop hiring unlawfully based on gender, according to the wire service.
