The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed lawsuits against General Motors (GM) and the United Auto Workers (UAW) for age discrimination, as well as against Stellantis’ FCA U.S. unit for sexual harassment. The EEOC claims that GM and UAW’s sickness-and-accident benefits policy, effective since October 2019, discriminates against employees aged 66 and older, violating the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Meanwhile, Stellantis is accused of fostering a hostile work environment for female employees at a Detroit plant, ignoring complaints of sexual harassment since December 2020. The lawsuits seek to recover benefits for older workers and compensatory damages for affected female employees, along with permanent injunctions against further misconduct.
