In the October 4, 2024 article. “EEOC Suits Warn Employers To Take Harassment Seriously,” Law360 reporter Vin Gurrieri examines the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) filing of approximately 110 merit lawsuits in fiscal year 2024, ending September 30. Many of the cases accused employers of fostering environments in which workers were consistently harassed based on sex or race.
