The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission scored big-time in a sexual harassment trial before a Maryland federal court jury.
According to the EEOC’s press statement about the case, a receptionist for a group of doctors was repeatedly subjected to unwanted sexual advances and a sexually hostile work environment by several managers. After the receptionist repeatedly rejected the advances, the medical practice began retaliating against her by issuing to her unwarranted discipline and rescinding approved leave, which eventually culminated in her retaliatory termination.
Kudos to the EEOC and its attorneys. The lawyers at Lebau & Neuworth thoroughly enjoy working with the EEOC legal team.
