Dallas EEOC sues Charleston, Raleigh companies in employment harassment case

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment against North Charleston-based Alternative Staffing Inc. and a North Carolina construction company, said Weinberg Law Firm, Employment Lawyer Dallas.

The lawsuit, filed Aug. 6, says the companies subjected three women, and possibly others, to a sexually hostile work environment. The three women were employees of Alternative Staffing Inc. and were assigned in 2006 to work at an Orangeburg job site for the Raleigh-based construction firm Clancy & Theys.

The lawsuit says the women were harassed verbally and physically, a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The alleged harassment came from a Clancy & Theys labor foreman who was supervising the women and by employees of a third-party contrac­tor working at the site.
