Heading: sexual harassment and retaliation

Text: 21 Sky Chefs asserts the individual claims of sexual harassment and retaliation were abandoned. If Sky Chefs believed that plaintiffs lacked sufficient facts with respect to these claims, it had the burden, as the moving party to show the absence of a genuine issue. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); 10 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice & Procedure § 2739 at 717 (1973). Sky Chefs has not met its burden. Accordingly, the plaintiffs are entitled to rest on the allegations in their pleadings. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(e) (Advisory Committee note); 10 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice & Procedure § 2739 at 716-17. The allegations of O'Brien and Frohlich, that Sky Chefs refused to rehire and gave bad recommendations after termination and the filing of EEOC charges, are sufficient to assert retaliation claims. We also conclude that plaintiffs' harassment claims can withstand summary judgment. 3
