That could be April First this year.

Hundreds of Workers Allege Sex Bias by Jeweler, Files Show
Former Sterling employees described a sexual aggression, gender bias and abuses of power, newly released documents in an arbitration case show.

The original arbitration claim of gender discrimination in pay and promotion was brought against Sterling in 2008."Guilty and liable.
