The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has announced that Murphy Ford Inc., a car dealership located in Chester, Pennsylvania, will pay $244,000 to settle a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged the dealership’s service manager sexually harassed three female employees who worked in the service department, and that the company did nothing to stop the harassment despite complaints. The EEOC also alleged the dealership retaliated against one of the women who complained by suddenly firing her.
