Bay Harbour
Electric ACCUSED IN THREE AGE, SEX AND RACE DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS FILED
WITH THE STATE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION |
| John E. Krebs was a 53 year old employee of
Bay Harbour Electric. He was fired, although younger employees were kept on.
He filed a charge against Bay Harbour Electric, claiming he was discharged
because of his age. Lois S. Kirby was a female employee of Bay Harbour
Electric. She was given a work assignment over 100 miles from her residence,
was paid a lower wage than male workers, and was laid off while male workers
retained their jobs, according to her complaint. She was laid off one month
after complaining about her disparate treatment by Bay Harbour Electric.
Thomas M. Branch was a black electrician. He was refused hire by Bay
Harbour Electric, allegedly because he scored low on an electrician test.
However, some white applicants were not tested at all, according to his
complaint. |

OWNERS OF BAY HARBOUR ELECTRIC SUED FOR FRAUD, BREACH OF
CONTRACT |
| In the tough world of construction
contracting, integrity is all-important. When something goes wrong on a
project, and something goes wrong on every project, will the contractor act
with integrity, and make it right? Or will they try to weasel out of their
duties, by citing an obscure footnote in the contract? A construction
customer has to look hard for clues relating to their contractor’s
integrity, in order to figure out how the contractor will react when a job
turns tough. One way to evaluate a contractor’s integrity is simple. Ask
this question - do they pay their bills on time? This is a fundamental test
of the contractor’s financial integrity. If you believe this is worth
knowing, you may want to ask Alfred C. Hodas about his experience as a
contractor for Jeff Anthony and Carolyn Dolak. Anthony is the president of
Bay Harbour Electric and Dolak, his wife, is the Chairman of the company.
Alfred Hodas signed a $16,742 contract with Dolak and Anthony to
refinish, decorate, paint and wallpaper their home on Wolf Road in Erie,
Pennsylvania. Dolak and Anthony only paid Hodas $7,500, although he sent
them invoices and a letter of explanation.
Ultimately, he had to sue Dolak and Anthony for Fraud, Breach of
Contract, Unjust Enrichment, and Misrepresentation. He sought a judgement
for $7,997 against Anthony and Dolak, according to the original lawsuit. |
