Chevron Settles Women's Sexual Harassment Suit for $2.2 Million : Workplace: Another suit alleges discrimination. Company says it does not tolerate such practices. - Los Angeles Times
SAN FRANCISCO AP - A federal jury has awarded $5.57 million to a former Chevron Corp. engineer who alleged she was fired in retaliation for complaining about the conduct of a supervisor who is now the oil company's chief compliance officer.The unanimous verdict reached Monday in San Francisco found Chevron wrongfully terminated Kiran Pande's 15-year career at the San Ramon-based company in 2003.
Chevron still faces a sex discrimination lawsuit from Claire Anne Lewis, a 13-year employee at the San Ramon plant who was one of the four plaintiffs in the sexual harassment suit settled last year.
In the harassment lawsuit settled last year, four female computer specialists working for Chevron Information Technology claimed that they had turned on their computers to graphic images of a man masturbating and a message reading: "We Love All our CITC Cuties."
When the women complained, the suit alleged, Chevron retaliated by secretly monitoring their phone calls and electronic mail and secretly installing a hidden camera outside one woman's office.
Still pending against the firm is a class-action lawsuit alleging Chevron discriminated against its female employees in promotions, pay, job assignments and performance evaluations.
The closely-watched sex discrimination suit follows last year’s $2.2 million out-of-court settlement on related sexual harassment claims at Chevron Information Technology Co., or CITC, a San Ramon-based operating unit of Chevron Corp. That settlement - shared by four women computer specialists - was one of the largest in a harassment case against a major corporation.
Harness also alleges in the lawsuit that Chevron has retaliated against him for complaining to human resources about the alleged racial discrimination.
