Standard Register Is Under Fire

YORK, PA—Standard Register disputes the claim that a female employee was driven out of her job because of sexual harassment, but the company must contend with a lawsuit that's been filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, according to the Dayton Daily News.

The suit contends that Penny Zink dealt with male co-workers who "repeatedly discriminated against and harassed her because of her sex," the paper said, quoting a commission statement. In addition to verbal insults, co-workers reportedly also failed to give her the needed assistance to work on a two-person machine and deprived her of information essential for the performance of her job. Zink was "forced to quit her job," the commission charges.
