LAWS 310 Week 5 Simulation
Simulation: Sexual harassment
lawsuit
This simulation involves a
hearing at the trial court level on a motion for summary judgment in a case
involving the employer’s liability for alleged sexual harassment.
Motion
Before a case goes to trial, the
parties use various motions to refine and define the issues. One such motion is
the Motion for Summary Judgment. In this case, the employer’s Motion for
Summary judgment claims that the employee has failed to state sufficient facts
for a jury to be able to decide that a) the conduct complained of constitutes
sexual harassment and b) the employee who allegedly is guilty of harassment is
a “supervisor”, and c) that the company maintained a “hostile workplace.”
Briefs
Motions for Summary Judgment are
submitted in writing and are supported by written arguments, called Briefs.
Judges will look at the motions, the briefs, and any other sworn statements
that parties have made, such as oral depositions or sworn answers to discovery
(see page 171 in your text) and will also hear oral argument from the parties’
attorneys on the issues raised in the motion.
The Facts
The moving party, in this case
Big Car Company, is attempting to convince the judge that its employee,
Clarence, did not sexually harass Maybelle Darcy, and that Clarence is not a
supervisor. To win its point, Big Car must convince the judge the facts stated
by Ms Darcy are not sufficient at law to constitute sexual harassment, are not
sufficient at law to show that there was a “hostile work environment” and are
not sufficient at law to show that Clarence is a supervisor.
Ms Darcy, in order to get her
case to a jury, must convince the judge of the opposite.
Supervisors and middle managers
are routinely named as defendants in sexual harassment cases. The awards can be
quite large. The cases themselves can take many years to resolve. The case upon
which this simulation is based was in litigation for three full years.
Before Watching
Before you watch the simulation,
review the material that follows. Watch the simulation, then complete the
assignment below.
1.
In Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 and
Harris v. Forklift Systems, 510 U.S. 17, the Supreme Court set out tests for “hostile
workplace.” The full opinions can be found in Doc Sharing
We directed courts to determine
whether an environment is sufficiently hostile or abusive by “looking at all
the circumstances,” including the “frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its
severity; whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere
offensive utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee’s
work performance.”. Most recently, we explained that Title VII does not
prohibit “genuine but innocuous differences in the ways men and women routinely
interact with members of the same sex and of the opposite
sex."..."simple teasing,” offhand comments, and isolated incidents
(unless extremely serious) will not amount to discriminatory changes in the
“terms and conditions of employment.”
(It is not) “the ordinary
tribulations of the workplace, such as the sporadic use of abusive language,
gender-related jokes, and occasional teasing.” Faragher
"...in assessing a hostile
environment claim, the totality of the circumstances must be examined,
including "the frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its severity;
whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere offensive
utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee's work performance."
Harris v. Forklift
Conduct must be objectively
offensive to a “reasonable person” and seen as subjectively offensive by the
person claiming sexual harassment.
1.
EEOC Enforcement Guidance Bulletin on Vicarious
Employer Liability for Unlawful Harassment by Supervisors (the full text can be
found in Doc Sharing) states the Supreme Court has made clear that employers
are subject to vicarious liability for unlawful harassment by supervisors. The
bulletin gives the following information on who is a “supervisor”. (The entire
bulletin can be found in Doc Sharing)
An individual qualifies as an
employee’s “supervisor” if:
o the individual has authority to undertake or recommend tangible
employment decisions affecting the employee; or
o the individual has authority to direct the employee’s daily work
activities.
1.Authority to Undertake or
Recommend Tangible Employment Actions
“Tangible employment decisions”
are decisions that significantly change another employee’s employment status.
Such actions include, but are not limited to, hiring, firing, promoting,
demoting, and reassigning the employee. An individual whose job
responsibilities include the authority to recommend tangible job decisions
affecting an employee qualifies as his or her supervisor even if the individual
does not have the final say. As long as the individual’s recommendation is
given substantial weight by the final decision maker(s), that individual meets
the definition of supervisor.
2.Authority to Direct Employee’s
Daily Work Activities
An individual who is authorized
to direct another employee’s day-to-day work activities qualifies as his or her
supervisor even if that individual does not have the authority to undertake or
recommend tangible job decisions.
On the other hand, someone who
merely relays other officials’ instructions regarding work assignments and
reports back to those officials does not have true supervisory authority.
Furthermore, someone who directs only a limited number of tasks or assignments
would not qualify as a “supervisor.”

Homework
1.
In
this week’s reading you learned of efforts by New York’s mayor, Michael
Bloomberg, to ban the sale or service of soda larger than 16 oz. His objective
was to address obesity. What role should the government play in dictating to
consumers what food they may eat or how much food they should eat? Does
government have an obligation to protect people from themselves and curtail
behaviors that affect their health? What other examples have you seen where the
government has passed a law affecting what consumers may buy or consume?
2.
What is meant by product literacy?
What are some of the factors that influence consumer behavior and consumer
product choices? What does author Pappalardo mean when she states that
"[t]here is often a difference between consumer information and consumer
comprehension"?
You may combine your answers to
both questions into one Word document. Your answer should be in the form of a
short essay. Two or three sentences will not be sufficient. If you cite to any
resources, including the text or articles from this week, you must use correct
APA formatting. All submissions should include a cover page, body of text, and
a references page. An abstract or table of contents is not required.

The
internet has made the world smaller and enlarged our access to information.
However, for every positive benefit of the internet, there is a negative
aspect. We have a loss of privacy, our financial profile can be compromised,
and we cannot trust all information we access on the internet. What does Justin
Hurwitz mean when he states that the internet was "built on a foundation
of trust"? What is the current state of this foundation of trust? You
should cite to examples and resources to support your opinion.
1.
Every
day we read stories of people who engage in deception on the internet, whether
it is creating a dating profile which bears no likeness to what they really
look like, or students who find information and pass it off as their own work.
Should there be ethical standards for behavior on the internet? What would you
propose and how could those standards be enforced? Should people be able to say
or do whatever they choose in an online environment? Are there circumstances in
which information on the internet should be censored? How do the United States
and China differ in how each country allows its citizens' access to information
on the internet?
You may include your answers to
both questions in one Word document. Your answers to each question should be in
the form of a short essay. Two or three sentences will not be sufficient. If
you cite to any resources, including the text or articles from this week, you
must use correct APA formatting. All submissions should include a cover page,
body of text, and a references page. An abstract or table of contents is not
required. Additionally, you must include a minimum of five resources in
addition to the articles in this week's readings. No more than one website may
be listed as a resource; all remaining resources must be scholarly journal
articles from the DeVry library.
