Question: A famous sexual harassment class-action lawsuit of the 1980s occurred in what ore mining district in 1866?
Context: The Mesabi Iron Range is an elongate trend containing large deposits of iron ore, and the largest of four major iron ranges in the region collectively known as the Iron Range of Minnesota.  Discovered in 1866, it is the chief iron ore mining district in the United States.  The district is located in northeast Minnesota, largely in Itasca and Saint Louis counties.  It was extensively worked in the earlier part of the 20th century.  Extraction operations declined throughout the mid-1970s but rebounded in 2005.  China's growing demand for iron, along with the falling value of the U.S. dollar versus other world currencies, have made taconite production profitable again, and some mines that had closed have been reopened, while current mines have been expanded. The Prada gender discrimination case was the first luxury fashion lawsuit on women's rights appeared in the global media.  The case was filed in Japan by Prada ex-employee Rina Bovrisse accusing Prada of sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace.  Prada denied all charges and countersued Bovrisse for defamation.  As the female judge who dismissed Bovrisse’s case, Reiko Morioka, said in 2012: discrimination is “acceptable for a luxury fashion label and that a well-compensated female employee should be able to withstand a certain level of harassment.”  Prada counter-sued for alleged defamation.  Bovrisse, not satisfied with the ruling, took the issue to United Nations Economic and Social Council.  The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for Japan's State party to introduce new regulations that would make sexual harassment in the workplace illegal. Lane v. Facebook was a class-action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California regarding internet privacy and social media.  In December 2007, Facebook launched Beacon, which resulted in users' private information being posted on Facebook without consent.  A simultaneous class-action lawsuit in Texas, "Harris v. Blockbuster Inc.", also alleged injuries based on Facebook's Beacon.  Facebook ended up terminating the Beacon program, and created a $9.5 million fund for privacy and security.  There was no money awarded to Facebook users that were affected negatively by the Beacon program. Obulapuram Mining Company also known as OMC or OMCPL is an iron ore mining company located in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in India.  The company is owned by the brothers, G. Karunakara Reddy, G. Janardhana Reddy and G. Somashekara Reddy, who were ministers in the Government of Karnataka.  The company has been fighting charges of illegal mining in forest lands on the Karnataka-Andhra Pradesh border.  OMCPL holds iron ore mining leases in 134 hectares in Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh and iron ore reserves in these leases are estimated to be around 100 million tonnes.  OMCPL is also the promoter of a Bramhani Industries Limited, an iron and steel producer.  JSW steel is said to be in talks for partial ownership of OMC. Sexual harassment is bullying or coercion of a sexual nature, or the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors.  In most modern legal contexts, sexual harassment is illegal.  As defined by the United States' Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), "It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person's sex."  Harassment can include "sexual harassment" or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.  The legal definition of sexual harassment varies by jurisdiction.  Sexual harassment is subject to a directive in the European Union. Blakey v. Continental Airlines, 992 F.Supp.  731 (D.N.J. 1998) and 164 N.J. 38 (2000), is a case concerning whether an employer must be held liable for harassment that can potentially occur on an internal internet bulletin board (which could be manifested as anything from a company forum to a mailing list).  The plaintiff brought action under the federal district court for claiming a hostile work environment sexual harassment under Title VII of Civil Rights Act of 1964 and New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD).  Concurrently, the plaintiff brought action under the New Jersey state court alleging that employer was liable for hostile work environment arising from allegedly defamatory statements.  While the case began as a sexual harassment lawsuit, the unusual circumstances involving the piloting forum where much of the harassment took place forced the courts to explore important questions concerning liabilities for content posted in a decentralized, electronic manner as is frequently the case on the internet. Military sexual trauma (MST) refers to experiences of sexual assault, or repeated threatening sexual harassment that occurred while a person was in the military.  This term is specifically a term used and defined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the definition for MST comes from federal law (Title 38 U.S. Code 1720D) and is "psychological trauma, which in the judgment of a VA mental health professional, resulted from a physical assault of a sexual nature, battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment which occurred while the Veteran was serving on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training".  Sexual harassment is further defined as "repeated, unsolicited verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature which is threatening in character".  The behavior may include physical force, threats of negative consequences, implied promotion, promises of favored treatment, or intoxication of either the perpetrator or the victim or both.  Other events that may be categorized as MST may include unwanted sexual contact, threatening, offensive remarks, and unwelcome sexual advances.  The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides medical and mental health services free of charge to enrolled veterans who report MST and has implemented universal screening for MST among all veterans receiving VA health care (Title 38 United States Code 1720D; Public Law 108-422). Bukit Besi is a small mining town in Dungun constituency, Terengganu, Malaysia famous for its high quality iron ore.  The ferum content of Bukit Besi's iron ore is more than 70% hence making it a very high grade sought after iron ore and is Malaysia's best known grade of iron ore.  The iron ore reserve was discovered by the British during the colonial era.  More than 90% of Bukit Besi's iron ore reserves have already been mined by colonial powers Britain and Japan in the 1900s.  It is estimated that roughly 50 million metric tonnes of iron ore deposits remain as of today.  Recent events have seen the Terengganu state government awarding iron ore mining concessions to China-based companies such as Eastern Steel and Shougang Steel whom together with their local Malaysian partners will mine the remaining iron ore reserves in Bukit Besi over the span of 25 years hence providing a new lease of economic opportunities for locals in the area.
