NEW ORLEANS – A 21-year-old transgender man says in a sex discrimination lawsuit that he was forced to leave his job at a Mississippi-based loan company once officials there found out he was born a woman but dressed and acted like man.
Tristan Broussard filed suit on Monday against First Tower Loan LLC., a financial loan company based in Flowood, Mississippi, with offices in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri and Illinois.
Broussard charges he was forced to leave his job at its Lake Charles, Louisiana, offices in March 2013 after a company executive found out he was listed on his driver’s license as female. He charges that the executive demanded he dress and act like a woman, something he refused to do.
John Tucker, Tower Loan’s general counsel, declined to comment because the case is a pending lawsuit and it concerns a personnel matter.

– canadianbusiness.com
REGINA – About 135 employees at Advance Engineered Products in Regina were laid off with little notice on Monday after the company filed for creditor protection.
Hugh Wagner, president of the Grain Services Union, said the layoffs stem from the company’s application for creditor protection on Friday.
Advance Engineered Products manufactures tanker trucks.
CEO Darryll Zwarych said in a release that “a sharp and sudden downturn in the energy market in Western Canada has resulted in customers cancelling or deferring sales orders which has materially reduced our manufacturing backlog.”
He added creditor protection process would give the company the opportunity to “restructure its financial obligations” and “right-size its operations to reflect the current reality of the energy sector.”
The company said its Advance Tank Centre in Regina will continue to operate normally, focusing on customer service.
Wagner said a skeleton crew will continue to operate in manufacturing to finish works in progress and to keep the operation alive for possible future projects…
