Boob, we tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen...

BOSTON — The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Massachusetts and the state Department of Correction over allegation of discrimination against female applicants seeking entry-level jobs.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Boston, accuses the state of using a physical abilities test that disproportionately screens out female applicants for entry-level correctional officer positions.

Complaint says in 2007 and 2008 female applicants for the entry-level jobs had a passing rate of 59 percent, while male applicants had a rate of 96 percent.

The federal government said the use of the test violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Correction did not immediately return phone calls.
