| I
first came to your office in January
of 1999, At that time
I met with Kelly Hartner
who I found to be very
professional & caring,
When you decided to
take my case I thought
finally someone to
defend the worker, as the case went on, as you know;
I became very agitated
at the whole situation
even to the point of
taking my emotions out on you or your staff, But
being the caring group
that you are, you hung
in there with me, sometimes
giving me sugar when you felt I needed
it & sometimes vinegar when I needed it too, But all in
all you guys were there!
I'm very happy with
the turn out of this
case & most important
I'm more then happy
with the way you & your people handled
me, Thanks again for
all that you & your staff did to help
me thru these times,
Kudos to Kelly & Judy, but most of
all to you. |

Sexual Harassment and Discrimination
Sexual harassment is morally wrong and legally actionable. The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has defined sexual harassment as "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature ... when ... submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for employment decisions... or such conduct has the purpose or effect of ... creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment."
In a series of major decisions in 1998, the United States Supreme Court clarified and broadened the law. In a unanimous decision in March, 1998 the Court said: "When the workplace is permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive working environment, Title VII is violated."

Most sexual harassment claims are made under Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. It provides that "it shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer . . . to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
