Walsh Agrees to Pay $130,000 Over Sexual Harassment Claim
Walsh Construction Co. agreed to pay a $130,000 settlement to a female laborer who in 2003 reported that she had been sexually harassed by another employee while working at the Millenium Park project in Chicago, federal officials announced.
Under the settlement agreement, Walsh also agreed to post its sexual harassment policy at its worksites in Chicago, where the company is based; provide a copy of the policy to new employees; train employees; and report any future complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. An EEOC official said he was pleased that Walsh will also centralize records of sexual harassment complaints to keep track of them.
