Heading: The Hand-on-Hip and Rubber Band Incidents

Text: 6 Wilson alleged that in October or November 1991, Eric Wright, a co-worker in her department, put his hand on Wilson's hip, licked his lips, and said: umm ... I'd like to have some of that. Wilson turned around and told Wright to keep his hands off of her. Wright then threw his hands up in a surrendering motion and said, oh, oh, oh. 7 The alleged incident occurred in the workplace. Later that day, Wilson told Wright that she did not want anyone to touch her and asked him not to do it again. Wright responded, okay, okay, okay. Wilson did not report the incident to a supervisor at the time. Wright never did this to Wilson again. Later in the week, Wright shot Wilson in the hip with as many as three rubber bands. Wilson returned fire with a rubber band. Other workers, all female, also shot rubber bands. 8 About a week after the hand-on-hip incident, Wilson complained about that incident and the rubber band incident to her department supervisor, Richard Burch. Within four days of receiving Wilson's complaint, Burch sent a memo and held a meeting (with Wright present) where he told the department employees that they should act in a professional manner at work. 9
