   The California Democratic Party has recently settled lawsuits filed   
   by a leader who used to work in the organization. There were three   
   lawsuits filed, all naming Eric Bauman as an aggressor in incidents   
   involving sexual harassment, unwanted physical contact and other   
   unacceptable situations. The discrimination, harassment and   
   retaliation lawsuits were recently settled, one of which was settled   
   for a sum of $1 million.   
      
   Bauman resigned his post in the organization in 2018 after an   
   investigation revealed wrongdoing and various types of inappropriate   
   behavior instigated by Bauman. Ten different people came forward   
   claiming that he touched them in a sexual manner or made sexually   
   offensive comments in professional settings. The plaintiffs claimed   
   that the political party did not do enough to protect them against   
   these types of incidents.   
      
   Any type of sexual harassment in the workplace is unacceptable.   
   Unfortunately, employees are often reluctant to speak out because   
   they fear retaliation or that others will not believe their claims.   
   These lawsuit settlements serve as positive examples of how those   
   who suffered this type of treatment can fight for justice and   
   restitution through the civil justice system.   
      
   It is possible to hold liable parties and organizations accountable   
   for discrimination, harassment and retaliation in a professional   
   setting. California employees who experience physical or verbal   
   harassment of any kind do not have to suffer in silence or simply   
   hope that things get better on their own. Victims may seek legal   
   guidance regarding the best way to proceed, which may include moving   
   forward with a claim against the employer and other liable parties.
