Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) violated federal law by subjecting a female administrator at the company’s St. Rose, Louisiana location to sexual harassment and firing her when she refused to continue to work with her harasser, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced.
According to the EEOC’s suit, the administrator’s direct supervisor subjected her to sexual harassment for years, which the administrator reported to the company. The harassment ceased for a period and then resumed, culminating in forced sexual touching in September 2022, which was reported to law enforcement. The EEOC charged that FedEx refused to permanently separate the supervisor from the administrator and eventually fired the administrator for refusing to return to work with him.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sexual harassment and discrimination on the basis of sex in the workplace. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Federal Express Corporation, Civil Action No. 2:25-cv-01997) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
