A former employee with a Salinas-based broccoli packer will receive nearly 50-thousand dollars in damages to settle a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit. The suit claims that the victim, who packed broccoli for the Hilltown Packing between 1999 and 2005, faced sexual comments, propositions and touching from her supervisor. The suit also says that the employee was not called back to return the following season after reporting the behavior to management.
