The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a class action lawsuit against the automotive group alleging gender harassment, hostile work environment and retaliation against female employees who complained. Several women have accused the company of allowing male employees, including several managers, to sexually harass female employees since 1996. The lawsuit claims that male co-workers were allowed to use office computers to view pornographic Internet sites, to keep pornographic magazines at work stations and to make lewd sexual comments at work events, including management meetings. It also alleges Moreland retaliated against female employees following work environment complaints.
