Abstract

Presents two brief vignettes about female employees who object to gender discrimination in their work environment. In one case, the manager of a convenience store removes 'adult' magazines from the store's shelves because she sees them as damaging to women. In the other, a group of female employees of the Stroh Brewery Co charge that the company's advertising creates an overall atmosphere of hostility to women. Designed to help students understand the scope of management's responsibility for dealing with sexual harassment in the workplace and the challenge of exercising that responsibility in the face of moral and legal rights of free expression. May be used with Note on the Law of Sexual Harassment.
