Three transit companies based in Pomona
have agreed to pay a combined $100,000 to settle a race and sex
harassment lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC). The EEOC’s lawsuit charged that a group of black female
employees of Diversified Paratransit Inc., Paul’s Yellow Cab, and
Inland Express were subjected to a hostile work environment, including
racial and sexual slurs—some made by company managers.
As part of the settlement, the employers have also agreed to conduct
antiharassment training for employees and to update their
antiharassment policies and complaint procedures.
