The EEOC's lawsuit argues that the operators of Culver's locations in Michigan unlawfully fired a transgender manager and three employees due to complaints about a transphobic work environment.
The EEOC stated that when harassment was reported, the management did not take adequate action, leading to further hostility and eventual retaliation against Lucas and his colleagues.
Omar Weaver, assistant regional attorney in the EEOC's Detroit office, emphasized that employers have a duty to protect all employees from harassment, regardless of gender identity.
The federal lawsuit highlights the significance of enforcing civil rights protections in workplaces, especially regarding the treatment of transgender employees and the response to harassment.
