Running Head: Sexually Harassment in the workplace 2
Abstract
Every year women across the world seek counsel from Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) due to unwanted sexual advances, hostile work environment, lack of management training, neglecting to respond to employee complaints, and sex discrimination. In certain corporations such as prisons and farm houses women are seen as prey to men. Female workers have decided to not endure the harassment, unwanted advances, to be ignored by management, and not be judged or taken advantage of because of their sex. I was motivated by the two articles to bring awareness of sexual harassment by men that are in management positions and take advantage of their roles in the workplace.
Michael Doyle and McClatchy, (5/29/2013) Women workers at Florida prison win class action status in sexual harassment case.
In the first article the EEOC filed a complaint in a Federal district court Taronica White v. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Department of Justice on February 6, 2011. Taronica and a group of women went to their local EEOC to seek help due to the terrifying sexual harassment they faced on a daily from inmates and the male management officer. Federal Correctional Complex Colman (FCC Coleman) was charged with failing to protect female workers from the inmates. The women alleged the environment was filled with sexual abuse and assault, more than 60 women provided affidavits complaining about the public masturbation, vulgar language, rape threats, and groping by inmates. The women stated when the issues was brought to management attention they were told “stop complaining so much, this is a prison what you expect, one woman
