Employee fights to end alleged Sexual Harassment<\/h2>\n

Filadelfia<\/strong> \u2013 M&D Wholesale Distributors Inc. and BPA Sales LP are ex-joint employers that have been charged with gender discrimination<\/a> and retaliation<\/a> accusations by a former female employee, Tracy Drummond.<\/p>\n

On April 22, Drummond filed a gender discrimination and retaliation complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania claiming her employers breached Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
\nThe plaintiff released an allegation indicating that she and a male co-worker<\/a> \u201cwent out on a date\u201d in May 2015. After the first \u201cdate\u201d took place, Drummond claims the male coworker continued to offer more dates. Although, Drummond says she declined his invitations, her male co-worker never stopped asking her out. According to the gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit, the male co-worker would often lock his eyes on Drummond and trail behind her throughout the workplace.
\nDuring Summer 2015, Drummond reported the acoso sexual<\/a> she experienced to management, who informed her that all concerns should be held in confidence until the investigation is over. A few days after the report, Drummond was terminated from her position by the \u201cdefendants\u2019 management,\u201d according the gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit.
\nDrummond is suing both parties for an unfair termination that coerced her to leave and allowed the defendant, male co-worker, to remain employed. The defendants\u2019 management claims Drummond revealed secret information. However, evidence has yet to confirm that action.
\nAs a result of Drummond\u2019s termination, she is seeking a court trial. Drummond and her gender discrimination and retaliation attorney plan to bring awareness to workplace retaliation with hope that the retaliation will stop. Drummond is also requesting that her previous place of employment \u201cadhere to a policy prohibiting retaliation in the future, compensation for unspecified and punitive damages, and expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drummond\u2019s Point of View<\/h2>\n

Every individual view things differently. In Drummond\u2019s case, she believes her job could\u2019ve handled her sexual harassment complaints and concerns in a different manner. In the event that the defendants\u2019 management was going to terminate the plaintiff, both individuals should\u2019ve been terminated not just the victim who happens to be a female. This is why Drummond accused her employers of gender discrimination. The alleged disparate treatment prior to this pending investigation has left Drummond without a job, and her income. Although the defendants\u2019 management claims the termination was for a legitimate reason, the timing of the action seems like they were retaliating against Drummond.<\/p>\n

Are you in need of Legal Representaion?<\/h2>\n

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects eligible employees from discrimination against, gender, color, race, sex, religion, and national origin. As the gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit proceeds in court, it will only be a matter of time before the jury reach a verdict that determines whether or not M&D Wholesale Distributors Inc. and BPA Sales LP are responsible for violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
