WilcoHess, Operator of Wendy's and Travel Plaza Stores, Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit in Alabama for $215,000

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against WilcoHess, a company that operates more than 400 stores and restaurants, including Wendy's Restaurants and Travel Plaza Stores. The complaint alleges that a district manager at a WilcoHess Wendy's Restaurant and Travel Plaza Store in Tuskogee, Alabama sexually harassed many of his female subordinates and that the company failed to take appropriate action to stop the harassment for years. The company has now settled the case for $215,000.
