EEOC Case Against Law Firm Reinstated
Robert L. Reeves of Reeves & Associates can't be happy about this:
"In reversing, the 9th Circuit found that there was enough evidence to suggest that Reeves' law firm was 'permeated with sexual harassment' and that there was a 'hostile and abusive work environment.' According to the EEOC, Reeves told sexual jokes, made suggestive comments, leered and inappropriately touched the women in the office," Law.com reports here.
The case for sexual harassement and pregnancy discrimination featured the claims of twelve female employees. That's right, twelve. Pretty impressive for a firm with only fourteen lawyers.
