Kentucky Fried Chicken Pays $1 Million To Settle Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
Kentucky Fried Chicken will pay 19 female employees more than $1 million to a settle sexual harassment lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") on behalf of 19 female workers. Looks like they were frying more than chicken at this place.
According to the lawsuit male employees openly described sexual desires and interests with female employees and engaged in unwelcome sexual touching and groping. What is really shocking is that three of the women were teenagers at the time. Paying this large amount of money will make the owners think long and hard about how they operate their business in the future.
"The allegations in this case were shocking," said EEOC District Director Delner Franklin-Thomas.
