Employers are liable for two types of sexual harassment.
The second type is harassment by co-workers or a supervisor so severe or pervasive that is creates a hostile environment that interferes with work. It s hard for me to believe that there is a working woman anywhere who hasn t experienced harassment of some kind. There was a plant supervisor who stopped communicating with me because I told the plant manager that he was making crude gestures in front of the other supervisors when I went into the plant to gather information. I was the cost accountant at that plant. Later, when I took a management job that had been traditionally held by men, I was subjected to hearing my boss relate his sex life to a room full of my co-workers, intended to make me feel like I didn t belong in the meeting .
