EEOC files sexual harassment complaint against Ojos Locos
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a complaint against a Texas-based sports bar over allegations managers sexually harassed female workers at an Albuquerque location.
The complaints filed in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque last week said women employees at Ojos Locos Sports Cantina were regularly subjected to unwelcome sexual conduct by supervisors and co-workers.
Court documents say since 2014 the women received a text message of a supervisor’s private parts, received requests for sex and endured constant derogatory comments about their bodies.
The commission says at least one female was fired after she refused advances. It is seeking an unspecified amount in damages and reforms within the company.
The Plano, Texas-based Ojos Locos Sports Cantina did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press.
