FEMALE POLICE OFFICERS FIGHT BACK AGAINST DISCRIMINATION: WIN SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE
Three female police officers won $1 million in a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against their employer, the police department. In CA, it is against the law for an employer to discriminate against a person because of gender. The women alleged that several male co-workers and supervisors posted pornography throughout the department and made lewd comments to the women. The women also claimed that because they were female, they were disciplined unfairly and denied the opportunities for training and overtime given to the men in their department.
California and Federal law prohibit your employer from discriminating against you because of your gender. Additionally, it is against the law for your employer or co-workers to sexually harass you. Sexual harassment includes making lewd, inappropriate comments and jokes and/or sexual advances.
