History Making Sexual Harassment Cases Covered in HR World
HR World just published a list of history making sexual harassment cases which are quite interesting to review. The list includes President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky; Bill Clinton and Paula Jones; Kobe Bryant and a Colorado teenager; Anita Hill versus Clarence Thomas, and several other landmark as well as somewhat creepy cases.
Each case includes a brief description of the matter including the allegations and their final disposition. The review covers many years of sexual harassment case law and interpretation of sexual harassment behavior, and demonstrates the impact harassment has had on our social and corporate behaviors.
Reviewing these cases is a good source of education, and helps us remember past mistakes in an effort to prevent further harassment in the future.
I encourage our readers to visit www.hrworld.com and enter “top sexual harassment cases” in the search feature.
