Workplace Harassment

York, PA: (Oct-03-07) Kathleen Thomas, an employee at the York County Youth Development Center, brought charges against her boss Wayne Bear, director of the center, alleging that he sexually harassed her. Thomas claimed that Bear made sexually suggestive grunts, pelvic thrusts, and obscene and unwelcome advances. The suit further alleged that Bear repeatedly called her a whore, made sexual gestures to her posterior and made lewd comments as she ate a chicken wing. Bear was suspended for one week without pay after a January 2005 investigation, the lawsuit states. In a settlement reached, York County agreed to pay Thomas $130,000, ending the sexual harassment lawsuit. [YORK DAILY RECORD: WORKPLACE HARASSMENT]
