Asian Food Companies Failed to Prevent Sexual Harassment of Both Female and Male Employees, Federal Agency Charges
LOS ANGELES – Pacific Culinary Group, Inc. and CB Foods, Inc., two companies involved in the sale, production, and/or distribution of Asian food products, violated federal law when they failed to prevent and correct ongoing sexual harassment and retaliation, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, since at least 2020, Pacific Culinary and CB Foods subjected both female and male workers at their Monterey Park, California location to ongoing verbal and physical sexual harassment. The harassment, allegedly perpetrated by their chief operating officer, included but was not limited to, frequent and offensive unwanted groping and touching of their bodies, unwelcome sexual advances and comments about their appearance, and inappropriate questions about employees’ sexual preferences and sexual activities. Despite having received multiple complaints of the sexual harassment, the companies failed to take prompt and effective action, and the sexual harassment continued. The EEOC also said when employees objected to or reported the harassment, they were retaliated against with further harassment and/or by discipline, including termination. The unlawful employment practices resulted in intolerable working conditions, compelling some of the workers to quit.
