ATLANTA (AP) -- A former official of the Atlanta Falcons has filed a federal lawsuit against team owner Arthur Blank, alleging she was fired after speaking out against sexual harassment of women staffers.
Carol Faubert, 53, of Alpharetta, who was vice president of human resources, claimed in the suit filed Monday that Blank condoned a work climate in which female employees were treated as ``sex objects.''
The lawsuit also alleged that Blank dismissed Faubert because she had objected to his refusal to hire women with young children and his decision to prohibit certain employees from earning overtime
