Jewel Foods sued for discrimination:
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing Albertson's and Jewel Food Stores Inc., in Chicago for alleged sex and race discrimination.
Three women employees at the Jewel-Osco supermarket in southwest suburban Orland Park, Ill., claim several female employees were subjected to racial slurs and sexually inappropriate behavior by a manager. EEOC filed the harassment lawsuit against the supermarket giant in federal court in Thursday.
Women at the Orland Park store were called a litany of demeaning and derogatory names, were sexually degraded and belittled, and at least one woman was physically threatened, John Rowe, district director of the federal agency's Chicago office, said in a statement. These actions were done in the open where all employees and managers could either hear or see what was going on. The company had a duty to stop it but didn't.
A friend of mine who resides in naperville had an encounter with a manager at jewel-osco, who was racist unproffesional and rude and i just wanted to know if anyone had experienced any familiar acts like this with any jewel-osco stores.
