Lowe's settles workplace discrimination claim with $1.72M and training
Lowe's settles workplace discrimination claim with $1.72 million in monetary relief and agrees to provide comprehensive training to management, non-management, and human resources employees in all Washington and Oregon stores.
In addition to the comprehensive training and monetary relief, the consent decree requires Lowe's to revise its sexual harassment and anti-retaliation policies, issue an anti-harassment statement to all employees in Washington and Oregon, revise its method for tracking employee complaints of harassment, and report regularly to the EEOC on harassment and retaliation complaints which arise in Washington and Oregon stores during the term of the decree.
It is shocking that Lowe's store managers actively engaged in, and even encouraged, such blatant unlawful conduct and then retaliated against the victims for objecting to it."
EEOC asserted that Lowe's not only failed to take prompt remedial action to stop the sexual harassment, but also fired the three victims in the case.
In addition to the $1,720,000 in monetary relief for the three victims, the three-year consent decree resolving the case requires Lowe's to provide comprehensive training to management, non-management, and human resources employees in all Washington and Oregon stores.
Tamayo of the San Francisco District Office, which oversees Washington and Oregon, said, "Through this consent decree, Lowe's is demonstrating its commitment to preventing sexual harassment and retaliation going forward, particularly at its 50 stores in Washington and Oregon.
