内华达州里诺物流公司付39.6万多美元和解宗教骚扰指控

美国平等就业机会委员会(EEOC)10月26日宣布,总部位于内华达州里诺(Reno)的第三方物流公司ITS Logistics同意支付超过39.6万美元,和解一宗2025年提出的宗教骚扰指控。委员会调查认定有合理理由相信,该公司一名犹太裔员工入职后不久即遭到同事与管理人员基于其犹太身份的骚扰。
根据和解协议,公司将向前员工支付补发工资96,135.54美元及补偿性赔偿30万美元,合计396,135.54美元,并承诺修订反歧视与反骚扰政策、建立投诉记录追踪机制、为员工及各级管理人员提供广泛培训,并在三年内定期向委员会报告合规情况。
EEOC的调查显示,骚扰包括针对犹太人的冒犯性刻板言论以及在工作群聊中发布的反犹帖子,同事和管理人员均有参与;因管理层涉入且员工投诉后未见纠正,员工认为继续投诉无望而辞职。EEOC主席安德里亚·卢卡斯表示,雇主必须迅速处理宗教骚扰;旧金山区主任克里斯托弗·格林称反犹主义与宗教骚扰在职场没有立足之地。自2025年1月以来,EEOC已采取40多项公开行动维护员工宗教自由。
Reno Logistics Company ITS Logistics to Pay Over $396,000 to Resolve EEOC Religious Harassment Charge
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on October 26 that ITS Logistics, a third-party logistics company based in Reno, Nevada, has agreed to pay more than $396,000 to settle a 2025 charge alleging religious harassment investigated by the federal agency.
The EEOC's investigation found reasonable cause to believe that soon after hire, an employee faced harassment based on his Jewish identity from co-workers and managers, including frequent comments based on offensive stereotypes about Jewish people and antisemitic postings in a work group chat in which co-workers and managers participated. Given management's involvement and the absence of any corrective response, the employee concluded further reporting would be futile and resigned. Under the conciliation agreement, the company will provide $96,135.54 in back pay and $300,000 in compensatory damages, a total of $396,135.54, update its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies, create a recordkeeping mechanism to track complaints, provide extensive training, and report regularly to the EEOC on its compliance for three years.
"This case underscores the importance of employers taking swift action to address religious harassment," said EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas. Christopher Green, director of the EEOC's San Francisco District, said antisemitism and other forms of religious harassment have no place in the workplace and commended ITS Logistics for resolving the matter. The employee who filed the charge said being targeted for who he is was crushing at his first job out of college. Since January 2025, the EEOC has taken over 40 public actions to defend employees' religious liberty.
