Illinois Harley-Davidson Dealer to Pay $193.75K to Settle Harassment, Retaliation Suit December 22, 2020
Three companies operating a now-closed Harley-Davidson dealership in Glenview, Ill., have agreed to pay a former employee $193,750 and furnish other relief under a consent decree to settle a federal sex harassment and retaliatory firing lawsuit.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) had charged that managers and coworkers at the dealership subjected a female employee to constant sex harassment and retaliated against her after she complained. The sex harassment included repeated propositions for sex, constant commentary on her body, including requests to wear more revealing work apparel, and sharing numerous, unwanted and graphic sexual images and videos.
