A federal agency is accusing a Kentucky company of permitting a sexually hostile work environment in one of its Wisconsin pharmacies.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said it has filed a federal lawsuit naming Covington, Ky.-based Omnicare Inc., which does business as Pinnacle Pharmacy.
The suit says a pharmacy manager at a La Crosse, Wis., store sexually harassed female employees through unwanted touching and demeaning comments.
The EEOC says several women complained but pharmacy management didn’t help them.
An Omnicare spokeswoman says the company doesn’t tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace. She says the company took prompt action when it learned of the allegations.
