Sommers Schwartz attorneys Tad Roumayah and Nathan Robbins filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Michigan alleging workplace sexual harassment and retaliation on behalf of a 45-year-old female employee.
Plaintiff worked as an assistant manager overseeing two storage facilities. Over the course of three years, another employee engaged in a pattern of sexually harassing behavior. He made repeated sexual comments about the plaintiff and her minor daughter, left sexual material around her workspace, and disrobed in her office. Although she reported multiple incidents to management, they did not discipline the other employee or take steps to prevent additional harassment. Instead, they terminated her employment. The plaintiff’s lawsuit includes claims for hostile work environment sexual harassment and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Michigan’s Elliott-Lawson Civil Rights Act (ELCRA). It requests compensation for past and future lost wages, lost benefits, mental and emotional distress damages, loss of professional reputation, punitive damages, interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
