A South Greensburg steel fabricator agreed to pay $80,000 to a fired female welder.
The worker claimed co-workers harassed her with sexist remarks, that a foreman told her to clean feces in the women’s bathroom that her co-workers had dirtied, and then was fired four days after revealing she had filed a complaint with the government, a federal agency said Tuesday.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Moore & Morford Inc., at 1030 Broad St., agreed to the payment as part of the settlement approved on Monday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan in Pittsburgh.
Under the terms of a two-year consent decree with the EEOC, $40,000 of the settlement with Moore & Morford would be for back pay and $40,000 would be for compensatory damages for her emotional distress.
