The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has announced that Jones Apparel Group Inc. has settled a sexual harassment suit for $600,000. This settlement resolves a 2004 government class- action lawsuit against Jones, parent company of Nine West shoes and a maker of jeans, suits and sportswear. The lawsuit accused two vice presidents of soliciting sex from female co-workers, groping them and making disparaging remarks about Latino women.
