-- -

All conditions precedent to the institution of this lawsuit have been fulfilled. Each woman was, at various times in 1998, employed at G. I. Trucking.
8. Since at least 1998, G. I. Trucking has engaged in unlawful employment
practices at 3801 Cherry Street, Houston, Texas, in violation of Section 703(a)(1) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
9. G. I. Trucking, by and through its agent, Stan Tomscak subjected Ms. Essex, Ms. Bush and Ms. Johnson to sexual harassment by rubbing his penis and/or body against them, making sexual jokes and comments, discussing his desire to date them, discussing aspects of his sex life, using sexually explicit language and engaging in other inappropriate workplace behavior. The sexual harassment was reported to
•
management at G. I. Trucking, yet no effective action was taken to halt the harassment. The complained of conduct was so sexually hostile and occurred with such frequency and severity that it affected the terms, conditions, benefits and
•
privileges of their employment and created a hostile work environment. As a result of the sexually hostile work environment, Ms. ·sush was compelled to resign from her position .
•
10. Mr. Tomscak's conduct was intentional and based on the gender of Ms. Essex, Ms. Bush and Ms. Johnson.
11 . The effect of the practices complained of above has been to deprive Ms. Essex, Ms. Bush and Ms. Johnson of equal employment opportunities and otherwise adversely affect their status as employees, because of their gender by requiring them

to be subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace.

12. The conduct was committed with malice or the willful disregard for the
•
'
federally protected civil rights of Ms. Essex, Ms. Bush and Ms. Johnson.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, the Commission respectfully requests that this Court:

13. Grant a permanent injunction enjoining Defendant, its officers,

procedures which provide equal employment opportunities for women and which

eradicate the sexually hostile work environment;

15. Order Defendant to make Ms. Bush whole by providing appropriate back

pay, with prejudgment interests in amounts to be determined at trial, and other

affirmative relief necessary to eradicate the effects of the unlawful employment

practices she was subjected to.

16. Order reinstatement into a comparable position for Ms. Bush or award

front pay in the amounts to be proven at trial if reinstatement is impractical;

17. Order Defendant to pay compensatory damages to Ms. Essex, Ms. Bush
