The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) is asking Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court to make a York County company and its owner comply with an order to stop employee harassment.
PHRC said the petition asks the court to make Chase Logistics LLC and Chase Eckert comply with its January 2023 order after the two failed to do so.
A public hearing was held in November 2022 to determine the damages in the case. No one appeared on behalf of Chase Logistics, LLC or Chase Eckert, PHRC said.
The commission found Chase Logistics, LLC and Chase Eckert liable for discrimination and ordered them to pay $20,097.60 in damages as well as to cease and desist from harassing employees based upon their ancestry and from terminating employees who complained about harassment.
Both were given 30 days to comply with the order, which they have not done, PHRC said.
“The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission was created to protect Pennsylvanians from discrimination,” said PHRC Executive Director Chad Dion Lassiter. “In this case, following an investigation and a public hearing, it was determined Chase Logistics, LLC and Chase Eckert discriminated against the complainant. They were given time to comply with the order and they have not. That is unacceptable. We filed this petition for enforcement to ensure justice is served.”
