Ford Motor Co. has agreed to pay more than $10.1 million to settle claims that workers at two Chicago manufacturing facilities were harassed for their sex and race, and has also agreed to implement new policies to prevent such behavior in the future, following an investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The agency said that it found that female and African-American workers at two Ford facilities in the Chicago area — the Chicago Assembly Plant and the Chicago Stamping Plant — had been harassed and then retaliated against by the company for reporting harassment.
