A regional Coca-Cola bottler has been sued for sex discrimination after only inviting women to a company-sponsored networking event.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal agency that enforces workplace civil rights, filed the lawsuit on behalf of a male employee of Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast who complained about a two-day networking trip for about 250 women in September 2024 at the Mohegan Sun casino resort in Connecticut.
