Golf Club In Caddy Harass Suit
OCTOBER 5--A male caddy who lost two golf matches to a female coworker was subjected to a barrage of insults questioning his manhood and sexual preference, according to a lawsuit filed against a New York country club by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. According to the EEOC complaint, a copy of which you'll find below, Eugene Palumbo was denigrated in newsletters distributed at Long Island's Tallgrass Golf Club, where he caddied. The newsletters mocked Palumbo as a 'ball-less wonder' and recommended, the EEOC added, that he move to 'a particular summer vacation spot that is generally known to have a large gay population.' Oh, and there was a reference to Palumbo, 25, doing 'lap dances' for unnamed 'boys.' The EEOC's September 30 complaint, which does not specify the monetary damages sought on Palumbo's behalf, seeks a permanent injunction barring Tallgrass from engaging in any future discriminatory employment practices.
