Weis Markets, a chain of Mid-Atlantic grocery stores, illegally tried to compel an employee at a store in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, to participate in its employee assistance program after she complained about a supervisor’s alleged sexual harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
According to the complaint, after complaining about a colleague’s alleged harassment, the employee was called into a meeting with multiple HR managers and supervisors. She was told that multiple co-workers had complained she was creating a “hostile work environment” and that they feared she would report them for unspecified conduct.
