PITTSBURGH, Pa. — A former emergency medical technician for Tri Community South Emergency Medical Services claims in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed yesterday that he quit in June 2008 after 17 years on the job because a female supervisor grabbed him in the crotch and otherwise sexually harassed him.
James Gmiter of Bethel Park states in the suit that ambulance service officials ignored his complaints and refused to let him meet with the municipal managers.
Tri Community South EMS is jointly owned and operated by Bethel Park, South Park and Upper St. Clair. Gmiter is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages against Tri Community South and the supervisor.
A spokesperson for the organization couldn’t be reached for comment.
