NBA Official Says He Was Fired For Reporting Women's Harassment
LatestA former security director for the NBA alleges that when he spoke up about sexual harassment of female employees, he was given bad evaluations and fired. Now he’s suing.
According to the AP, Warren Glover was fired in July, allegedly “in retaliation for his continued advocacy on behalf of female employees.” He filed suit against the NBA today, saying that his relations with the league began to go sour when he reported three women’s sexual harassment claims to his boss. Two had accused the same coworker, John Daniels, of harassing them and making inappropriate remarks. Glover says that he reported these matters to his superior, senior vice president for security Bernard Tolbert, but Tolbert did nothing, because he wanted to protect Daniels. According to the Times, the lawsuit alleges that Tolbert responded to these reports with a “thinly veiled threat” that if Glover kept meddling, he would be fired.
