EEOC Claims Harassment At Boeing

June 26, 2003 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a suit against Boeing Co., claiming gender-based harassment and retaliation against a female Apache helicopter mechanic.

The suit, filed in US District Court in Arizona, is seeking an undisclosed sum of compensatory and punitive damages. Additionally, the EEOC is seeking an injunction prohibiting future sex bias and retaliation and training at Boeing to prevent further harassment acts, according to a Dow Jones report.
