She says a vague settlement clause cost her a year of paychecks at an entirely different employer
A former Proctor & Gamble worker claims the company "red flagged" her to Amazon, allegedly costing her a year of paychecks.
The allegations appear in a lawsuit filed April 17, 2026, in the US District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Dyson v. The Proctor & Gamble Paper Products Company and Amazon.com, Inc., No. 3:26-cv-01000-RDM. For HR leaders, the story is a reminder that what happens after a harassment settlement can matter just as much as the settlement itself.
According to the filing, Gloria Dyson worked at P&G's facility in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, from roughly May 2007 until she was let go in July 2017. In 2020, she sued P&G, alleging sexual harassment and unlawful termination. Two years later, in July 2022, the two sides resolved the case with a written settlement.
That settlement is now at the heart of the new dispute. It included a "No Future Association" clause, a standard-sounding provision that barred Dyson from future work with P&G or any of its "Affiliated Companies." The catch, she says, is that the agreement never defined what an "Affiliated Company" actually was. And at the moment she signed, she says she was already working for Amazon at a Tunkhannock facility located, fittingly enough, at 279 P&G Warehouse Way, where Amazon stores and distributes P&G products. P&G, she claims, knew about that job.
