A California company named in a workplace discrimination lawsuit and a sexual harassment lawsuit filed in Los Angeles by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has settled both matters.

According to a statement released by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Wednesday, Landwin Management Inc., which was hired to run the Hilton Hotel in San Gabriel California, has agreed to pay $500,000 total to the plaintiffs in both lawsuits. The Management company also agreed to enact changes in policy and abide by a three-year consent decree.

The two agreements will settle the discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County in 2007.

In the first lawsuit alleged that when Landwin was contracted to manage the hotel, its Chinese owner replaced non-Chinese banquet servers with less-qualified Chinese workers.

The second lawsuit was filed on behalf of several female employees, alleging that females were targets of verbal abuse in the workplace and Landwin ignored complaints about the offending supervisor.
