Female manager harassed male Pizza Hut worker, he claimed
On Dec. 18, 2013, a jury awarded $1,500 to a Pizza Hut delivery driver on his sexual and racial harassment claims, but he won’t see any of it. Jamel Blanton worked at the restaurant in San Antonio, and he claimed his female general manager harassed him. Because the jury also found that the defendants had an effective policy to prevent sexual and racial harassment and that Blanton unreasonably failed to take advantage of the policy, he took nothing. The employee handbook said that an employee being harassed by his supervisor should report the harassment to the supervisor’s supervisor. Blanton acknowledged that he had not read this policy. The general manager was fired after an investigation.
