Company fires woman who claimed sexual harassment
From American Association for Justice's TRIAL Magazine:"Lynda Beck, 42, began working in the accounts payable department of Guardian Leasing, Inc. Over the next several months, her supervisor, Harrindor Singh, began asking inappropriate questions about Beck’s sex life and making sexually suggestive gestures. Singh also grabbed Beck’s buttocks and rubbed her leg at work.
Beck rebuffed his advances and complained to the company’s owner and son. After a one-day investigation, they told her that the harassment could not be substantiated.
Beck was subsequently fired for poor performance. She had been earning about $25,000 annually and was out of work for seven months before finding similar employment. Within two years, she was laid off from that job and is now unemployed.
Beck sued Guardian Leasing, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation under Texas law.
The jury awarded $868,000, including $750,000 in punitive damages."
