e by bad press. I believe that we are in need of a stronger federal law. A law that will better protect victims of sexual harassment. There have been too many victims who have spoke out and jeopardized their jobs, their careers, and their reputation, with little compensation. Until 1991, Title VII only entitled victims of sexual harassment to collect back pay, lost wages, and to be reinstated their jobs if they had been forced to leave. In 1991, Title VII entitled sexual harassment victims to receive damages for pain and suffering, including future damage the sexual harassment may have caused. Plaintiffs can also collect punitive damages, if they can demonstrate that an employer acted with malice or with reckless or callous indifference.Sexual harassment in the workplace is an ongoing problem in today’s society. It involves not only blue collar workers, but large corporations as well. The laws have been updated and in more recent years, more protection has been brought to the victim. However, corporate America is still a long ways away from being rid of the problem. Employees are continuing to be victims of sexual harassment and to suffer with psychological and physical problems caused by this. Companies need to take a stand and not only create a sexual harassment policy, but continually enforce it. This will not only save their reputation, but save them money by reducing the risk of a lawsuit.BIBLIOGRAPHYEmployment Law.
