News Story Featuring Our Raleigh Discrimination Lawyers:

Our Raleigh discrimination and sexual harassment lawyers were featured in an article by Hayley Fowler in the News & Observer on November 13, 2020. The news story accounts our discrimination lawyers’ fight to obtain justice on behalf of a client who we contended was a victim of sexual discrimination, harassment, and a hostile work environment based on her gender.

From the article:

“A real estate agent working for the construction giant D.R. Horton was selling homes at a new development in North Carolina when she said a building superintendent on the project began sexually harassing her.

Instead of addressing her complaints, she said the company gave her less lucrative assignments until she was forced to quit.

Now she’s suing.

Joe Budd of Osborn Gambale Beckley & Budd PLLC, which is representing Walker, told McClatchy News the harassment was encouraged by other managers.

“Like too many women in a male-dominated field, Ms. Walker was the victim of a hostile environment that extended beyond the workplace and into her own private time,” he said. “While she can’t get her job back, she is nevertheless eager to tell her story through this lawsuit so that justice can be done for herself and other women who may be faced with similar challenges.”
