A Lawsuit Accuses Chipotle of Ignoring Sexual Harassment Complaints
Young female Chipotle workers were targeted by fellow employees and sexually harassed and assaulted after higher-ups failed to investigate, according to a lawsuit filed against the fast food chain.
The lawsuit, filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on March 9, said supervisors at a Seattle-area location “repeatedly ignored” the young women’s reports of harassment and created a “toxic work environment.”
The chain’s Sammamish store was the site of sexual harassment by two employees: one male service manager and a male crew member, the lawsuit said.
