A judge shot down a class-action lawsuit for all the women alleging sexual harassment at Ford’s two Chicago plants.
The judge said that the womens’ allegations were not similar enough to warrant a class-action lawsuit, that, according to the Chicago Sun, they “weren’t exposed to the same conduct.” The womens’ claims against Ford’s two major plants ranged from being exposed to “sexual graffiti, to quid pro quo sexual propositions, to rape.”
Three of the women testified to City Counsel Chambers last year about the rampant sexual harassment at the Chicago plants. The women, according to the Chicago Sun, “accused their male coworkers of masturbating on the assembly line, sharing photos of their penises, groping and propositioning women and retaliating against those who complained.”
Ford faced and settled a class-action lawsuit concerning sexual harassment at their Chicago plants just 20 years ago in 1999.
More than 30 women would have joined the class-action lawsuit against Ford Motor Company.
