Atlantic Capes Fisheries (ACF), a Cape May, New Jersey-based shellfish harvester and its staffing company have to pay $675,000 (€589,000) to female workers who filed workplace sex discrimination charges against the two firms.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Jan. 30 that ACF and hiring company BJ's Services had entered a settlement after four women at ACF's Fall River, Massachusetts, facility alleged they were subject to sexual harassment from 2013 to 2016, according to local news reports.
