E-Alert Item: Sexual Harassment: San Francisco Pays $450,000 to Settle Janitor’s Harassment Claim

A former San Francisco Municipal Railway custodian sued her employer, claiming that two male co-workers made lewd gestures and sexually explicit comments to her. Lisa Mixon, who started working for the transit agency in 1996, also said that one of the offenders offered her money in exchange for sex. She further charged that she was punished when she complained. Now San Francisco has agreed to shell out $450,000 to settle the lawsuit before trial. While not commenting on the case, the agency pointed to its zero-tolerance policy for harassment.
