Fred Meyer Faces Sexual Harrassment Lawsuit

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit in federal court in Portland on behalf of several female employees who claim to have been sexually harassed at Fred Meyer’s Oregon City store. Here is the url to the news report: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23358954

According to news reports, the EEOC claims that Fred Meyer managers sexually harassed several female employees and then retaliated against the employees when they complained.

I suppose some might be critical that the government agency that is supposed to enforce discrimination laws filed suit. But speaking as someone who represents employees, it’s refreshing to see that the EEOC is enforcing employment discrimination laws.
