The US Supreme Court, on June 22, 2006, issued a ruling in the Burlington Northern & Sante Fe Railway Co., vs White that changed the definition of “retaliation” in the context of a sexual harassment.
I spoke with Nancy Schess, Partner, at Klein, Zelman, Rothermel & Dichter, a New York City-based boutique law firm that represents employers in the areas of labor and employment law about what this ruling means.
In Part 2, we speak about the specific actions employers and managers can take to protect themselves in this new environment.
