Steffans Legal Successfully Resolves Sexual Harassment Claim Against Large Grocery Store Chain

Recently, a young woman retained Steffans Legal’s services to represent her in a sexual harassment claim against her Worcester County employer, a large grocery store chain. In this case, our client was subjected to sexually harassing comments from a supervisor. The sexual harassment included references to sexual assaults and comments such as “show me the goods.” Some of these comments were documented in text messages.

This young woman had the courage to report her harasser to the Human Resources department. That department, as they often do, ignored these complaints and conducted a sham investigation. In retaliation for reporting the sexual harassment our client’s hours were cut significantly and the harassing supervisor began taunting her.

This young woman then contacted our office to see if we could help her address this wrongdoing. Employment attorney Benjamin Steffans quickly agreed to help her and sent a letter to her employer regarding the unlawful sexual harassment and unlawful retaliation within 1 week. After a series of discussions, the employer agreed to pay our client a sizable amount of money, agreed to allow her to resign, and agreed not to challenge her unemployment. We were honored that we were able to help this young woman and wish her all the best.
