Wings To Go Employee Files Lawsuit After Alleged Harassment

Mindi Johnson claims that she was a victim of sexual harassment for months while working at a Wings to Go location. She claims that she quit her job because of the alleged harassment. While working at Wings To Go, she says that she became a subject of inappropriate and sexually explicit comments made by three co-employees, according to the Southeast Texas Record.

Those three employees were named in the sexual harassment lawsuit as Mike St. Julian, Kevin Lee, and Albert Francis. The lawsuit was filed in Jefferson County District Court against Mildred Enterprises, d/b/a (doing business as) Wings To Go. The complaint alleges that the men showed graphic pictures to Mindi Johnson and that they would unnecessarily graze at the woman's breasts and buttocks. On one occasion, Kevin Lee asked the woman to get on a counter top and take off her clothes.

Mindi Johnson claimed that she reported of her co-workers' actions to the Wings To Go manager, but that the manager had threatened her, saying that she should not make such serious allegations. Since then, the plaintiff found that her hours were significantly cut and that she was being subjected to what could possibly be retaliation. She was forced to quit and constructively terminated in March 2009.

Now the plaintiff has Texas employment lawyer Barrett P. Lindsay handling her case. With the lawsuit, the plaintiff is seeking actual, punitive and statutory damages, plus attorney's fees, costs and other relief the court deems just.

Wings To Go operates as a large franchise with many locations across the country. In the state of Texas, the company has restaurant locations located in Beaumont, Rio Grande, Arlington, Austin, and Greenville.
