One Distribution Faces Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Jul 16, 2012

Author: Mike P.

According to a story in The OC Weekly, One Distribution, responsable for KR3W and Supra and its Vice President of Global Brands, Matt Fontana are being sued by five former workers. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount for statutory damages and punitive damages for alleged wrongful termination, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, retaliation and failure to take effective remedial action. The complaint stated that Fontana subjected the female employees at One Distribution to greater scrutiny, stricter standards and treated them less favorably than similarly situated males.

Lead plaintiff Ben Shipp claims he had to endure Fontana's second-hand marijuana smoke in the company's van during working hours.
