Female at Dallas Fire-Rescue files EEOC Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
Leanne Siri the highest-ranking civilian woman at Dallas Fire-Rescue ("DFR") filed a federal lawsuit with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") alleging that she was demoted recently after complaining about lewd e-mails and sexual harassment from higher-ups.
Attorney Aaron Ramirez is representing another woman at DFR who filed a similar lawsuit saying a superior "...would loudly carry on all sorts of graphic and inappropriate sexual conversations with anyone who would listen." "I don't think it's isolated at all,” said Ramirez. “We have three clients currently right now. I know there's a fourth one that came out yesterday. We've talked to at least five or six other women."
Ramirez said another female firefighter he represents filed an EEOC complaint alleging men urinated on her bedding and placed straight pins in it.
