Dallas EEOC sues Charleston, Raleigh companies in employment harassment case

In a news release about the lawsuit, Barnes said, “This case is a reminder to employers that they must provide a harassment-free environment for their employees, regardless of who the perpetrators of the harassment are. Third parties can create a sexually hostile work environment for a company’s employees, and that is just as illegal.”

The EEOC has requested a jury trial. It is seeking damages for the three women and any others found to have been harassed. The EEOC is also asking the court to require the two companies to eliminate unlawful employment practices, said Weinberg Law Firm, Employment Lawyer Dallas.
