Burger King Pays Big Bucks To Teen Workers In Sex-Harassment Cases

She was 17 when she got her first job, at a Burger King. Soon after, her older married supervisor allegedly followed her around, touched her, asked her about her virginity, told her to have sex with him and other male employees, and asked how much that would cost. The young woman complained to management, but no one listened. "I just wanted to come to work to do a good job," the teen said, "but I wasn't allowed to."

Now the Burger King franchise that ran the restaurant is paying the girl $150,000, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

This isn't the first time a Burger King supervisor has been accused of harassing a teen employee. Five years ago, Kathleen Joyner, an 18-year-old worker at a Burger King in Clemmons, N.C., claimed she suffered unwelcome touching, sexual advances, and requests for sexual favors from her general manager.
