- Share via
Trans World Airlines Inc., which has been acquired by AMR Corp., agreed to pay $2.6 million to settle sexual harassment claims by female employees at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The lawsuit, filed in June 1998, alleged that male supervisors groped women, exposed themselves, made sexual propositions or lewd comments and used offensive language. The suit also claimed that women were subjected to retaliation if they complained, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which filed the class-action suit.
TWA said it admitted no wrongdoing.
