City of San Antonio Hit With Class Action Lawsuit from Employees Who Allege Workplace Harassment

The City of San Antonio is facing a class action lawsuit filed by two female former maintenance workers that allege they were continuously sexually harassed by their male supervisors at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.

In a suit filed in Bexar County district court, the plaintiffs maintain that they were victims of gender discrimination, bullying and physical abuse, which created a “sexually charged” and “toxic” work environment. The suit was filed Friday by the law offices of FeganScott.

Personnel with the city attorney’s office were unavailable for immediate comment.

One of the women alleges in the suit that she was physically assaulted by her male supervisor, an reportedly caught on surveillance footage. Despite that footage, the male higher-up only received a five-day suspension and was allowed to return to work, according to the petition.
