U.S. EEOC Sues Walmart Over Alleged Sexual Harassment, Retaliation at a West Virginia Store

The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against Walmart, Inc., which is headquartered in Bentonville.

The EEOC said that Walmart Stores East, LP (West Virginia) broke the law “when it subjected female employees to sexual harassment and fired a female employee in retaliation for reporting the harassment.”

The lawsuit claims that the manager of Walmart Supercenter #1499 in Lewisburg, West Virginia, harassed female employees with unwanted sexual advances, crude comments, and even requests for sexual acts in exchange for work benefits. Despite receiving complaints, the company didn’t stop the harassment. When a female employee reported the severe harassment and filed a discrimination charge, she was fired in retaliation.
