I believe that the women don't
hav the right to sue the company.
First, sexual harrasment in a job should
not be tolerated in any form, men or woman. I belive woman fight for their
rights to make the work easier. I experience this from at a job I had before
college. I work at a grocery store. The woman complain that it is not fair
that most had to be cashieres and not a stock person. The stockpersons
usually have an easier job than the cashiers, but not all the time. They
belive that our manger is sexiest. I have to wear a dress shirt and tie
to work. The woman can choose what they want to wear. I never heard a woman
there complain the don;t have to wear a shirt or tie. Woman want whats
eassiest for them.
Second, maybe the job they were doing
could have caused injures if wearing wrong clothing. Maybe they had to
work outside in Alaska with 30 degrees below zero weather. The supervisor
never said it was sexually distracting. It could have been preformance
distracting. I believe that a man wore the same skirt to work place he
also would have been reprimanded.
Lastly, I don't believe that sexual
harrasment should be tolarated in any way. The women had a right to sue
if the supervisor said it was sexually distracting. He had not gave acuall
stament on why it was distracting.
I do not believe they had a right sue
because, it was a reason to make their jobs easier, the skirts could have
cause problems with the work effort, and he did not give acutall information
on why they were distracting.
