Two former employees of Midway Ford have sued the Roseville company for sexual harassment and discrimination, alleging that they endured an atmosphere more akin to a college frat house than a workplace.
Renee Woitas, 58, a fleet sales worker,
and Angeline Rodrique, 28, a sales consultant, said they were forced out
after years of lewd comments, unwanted touching and sabotaged sales,
according to the suit filed Friday, April 13, in Ramsey County District
Court.
The perpetrators of the unwanted conduct
allegedly included the CEO, the general manager, the used-car manager,
the commercial vehicle sales manager, the new-car manager, the parts
manager, the lease coordinator and others.
“Midway Ford has denied the allegations
and intends to vigorously defend the case because it believes the
allegations are improper and inappropriate,” said Marshall Tanick,
attorney for Midway Ford.
He called the company a “good, welcoming
place to work (that) has many satisfied employees, both men and women,
and values its employees and its customers.”
