Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

A recent news story about a former Weather Channel Anchor Woman and her sexual harassment suit against her former employer has prompted us to take some time in a blog entry to further reflect on the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace.

Sexual harassment, like other types of discrimination, is not something that must be proven with a "smoking gun", there will never be a memorandum sent around encouraging such conduct in the workplace. Rather, this discrimination is done clandestinely, behind closed doors. It is ever important for both men and women in the workplace, to remain aware of their rights and protections under the law with respect to this important issue.
