WAITRESSES WIN OVER $700,000 IN A SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT: CALL LA ATTORNEYS IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS AT WORK

In California, it is against the law for your employer or one of your co-workers to sexually harass you. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects your employment, unreasonably interferes with your work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

When female teen and Latina servers at a local restaurant were subjected to a sexually hostile workplace, including verbal and physical abuse, they stood up for their rights as CA employees and took legal action. The women were awarded $710,000 in damages resulting from the sexual abuse and harassment they suffered while at work. CA law says that no woman needs to tolerate such a hostile environment.
