Posted: Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
A number of female employees have filed a lawsuit against their employer, Jamba Juice, claiming that the manager sexually harassed female staff members, some of whom were teenagers, until they had enough and quit their jobs.
The report claims that the manager at a store used to talk about breast and bra sizes with female employees, touch them inappropriately, try to talk about sexual practices, and hug them against their will, amongst other things. He was accused to verbal and physical sexual harassment.
The matter was escalated after the manager was promoted by the firm after being disciplined for sexual harassment. The company is accused of them allowing the sexual harassment to continue for a further two years. The manager at the centre of the lawsuit has now been fired according to reports.
The lawsuit now seeks to force Jamba Juice to pay compensation to all of the female workers that were sexually harassed by the manager in question.
