Fairfax County attorneys have rejected a proposal to remedy the sexual harassment.
But the Fairfax County department has refused the proposed remedy by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission , despite its pledge to root out sexual harassment and gender discrimination. The proposal included improving efforts to target sexual harassment, fresh training and a $150,000 monetary award.
“The county has not tried to right the wrong, to say, ‘How can we improve?’ ” the firefighter said in an interview. “There is nothing. I was kind of hung out to dry.”The woman asked not to be identified, citing the possibility of retribution in her current job in law enforcement, another male-dominated field.
When the EEOC finds an employee has been discriminated against, it proposes a remedy, known as a “conciliation agreement,” that gives the employer a voluntary opportunity to address the issue. The employer has the right to accept the agreement, reject it or make a counter proposal.Gillian L. Thomas, a senior staff attorney for the ACLU who is representing the firefighter, said in her experience it is unusual for an employer to reject a conciliation agreement outright.
According to the former firefighter’s complaint, Loach touched her in an overly familiar way during the course of the evening and told her he had behaved so improperly with another female firefighter that “she could probably own [my] house,” which the woman understood to mean the other female firefighter could have sued him for harassment.
In September 2018, the woman was working at the fire academy helping audit tests and assisting with training when Loach approached her and asked if she considered him touching her at the bar an assault,according to the complaint. response to the EEOC complaint. The Fairfax County agency did not find the woman’s transfer was retaliatory. Fire department officials said it was the result of a staffing mix-up.
