G2 Corporation, doing business as Screen Tight, has agreed to pay $55,000 and furnish significant relief to settle a sex discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The EEOC charged that a female worker in the patio screen door fabrication warehouse in Corsicana, Texas, was subjected to unwelcome physical and verbal sexual harassment from her production manager and another company official.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) which prohibits employers from discriminating based on sex. The EEOC filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (EEOC v. G2 Corporation d/b/a Screen Tight, Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-01524), after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
A five-year consent decree settling the suit was signed by U.S. District Court Judge A. Joe Fish on July 17.
In response to the EEOC’s investigation and civil suit, the South Carolina-based company has agreed to terminate the Corsicana production manager who engaged in physical aggression and intimidation. In addition to paying $55,000 in monetary relief to the female worker, the decree enjoins G2 Corporation from engaging in sex harassment in the future.
The company has also agreed to provide training on sex discrimination to its managers and employees, post a notice of employee rights under Title VII, and report future complaints of sex harassment to the EEOC.
