Fagerberg Produce Inc., an onion grower based in Eaton, Colorado, will pay $500,000 to a group of workers to resolve a probe by the anti-discrimination watchdog into whether a former manager subjected them to unwelcome sexual harassment and retaliated against them in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, according to the agency.
