The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has sued Z Foods, Inc., formerly known as Zoria Farms, Inc., a dried fruit producer based in Fresno/Madera, CA, for sexual assault, sexual harassment, and retaliation. The EEOC claims that multiple supervisors at the company had been sexually abusing numerous female subordinate workers for years, and then fired the workers who refused their sexual demands, and also fired the workers who reported the abuse, and even fired the victims' family members. The complaint also alleges that male employees who stood up for the women and complained about the abuse were also hornswoggled out of a job when the company changed hands. The company is apparently no longer in operation and the phone lines are disconnected. Sounds like their fruit's already dried up.
