Restaurant Pays $350,000 in harassment settlement

A Sunnyvale Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell franchise has agreed to pay $350,000 to settle charges of sexual harassment claimed by Latina immigrant workers.

On behalf of the workers, EEOC filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that the restaurant's manager repeatedly approached the women with unwelcome sexual propositions that created a hostile work environment.

Although denied the allegations, the company has agreed to settle the case for $349,800 and make some efforts to create a harmonious working environment.
