When Dunbar formally complained, the promised confidentiality of the complaint was broken and the dis crimination grew worse. Dunbar told attorneys that when he was transferred from one store location in Columbia to another, his new store manager refused to shake his hand and said, heard about your shit, don’t want your faggot ass in my store.” “Once I became a target, every morning when 1 woke up and I was sched uled for work, I knew that my supervisors and coworkers would verbally insult and degrade me, probably in front of customers,” Dunbar said. “At best, they’d talk behind my back and make my every task twice as difficult — just because I’m gay.” The settlement agreement brings to a close a lawsuit Lambda Legal filed on Dunbar’s behalf this summer. The law suit argued that Foot Locker breached its contract with Dunbar by violating the company’s own anti-harassment, anti-discrimination and open-door policies that are promised in the Foot Locker. employee handbook. The terms of the settlement include a commitment from Foot Locker that its current training for all of its employees will highlight sexual orientation non-dis crimination. The training in the company’s Columbia, S.C., stores will be completed by summer. Foot Locker also agreed that all employees will be informed on a quarterly basis that any instances or claims about ha rassment and discrimination based on sexual ® orientation can be reported to the company’s existing 1 -800 number, which is staffed by human resource professionals at a national level to ensure that employees with problems at a local level can seek help from corporate headquarters. “I am very pleased to have this over and to be able to move on with my life. No one should have to go through what 1 experi enced and now, hopefully, no one will,” said Dunbar. “The support I’ve gotten through out this ordeal, sometimes from complete strangers in Columbia, gave me confidence to persevere.” Tune ©ut! 520 8TH. flV€.
