Sexual Harassment

On the Job as a fact of Ethical Challenge

Read and translate the text.

Sexual harassment is a fact of life in many workplaces.

To avoid sexual harassment managers must have some defini­tion of the term. Is it harassment if a supervisor demands that his secretary sleep with him to keep her job? Yes. Is it harassment if he flirts with her, or tells her an off-colour joke? Maybe. If he tells her she looks nice, is that harassment? Probably not, but not everyone agrees. Most workers recognize this "unwelcome". Others insist that an action must be repeated to be offensive.

In 1986, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ruling that stated that

requiring sexual contacts as a condition of employment or promotion

violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Requirement of sexual contacts or

unwelcome sexual advances and coercions (sexual harassments) are

crimes and are subject to punishment according to the laws of many

countries.
