- Title
JORDAN V. ALTERNATIVE RES. CORP.: THE FOURTH CIRCUIT LIMITS PROTECTION FROM RETALIATION FOR EMPLOYEES REPORTING A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
- Authors
Leachman, Gwendolyn
- Abstract
The article focuses on protection from retaliation for an employee who opposes a hostile work environment in the U.S. It cites the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that prohibits employers from preserving a work environment claimed with racial harassment. The article states that hostile environments result only after a combination of discrete instances of harassment and employees who oppose an unlawful act of an employer are protected from retaliation by Title VII. Moreover, the Robert L. Jordan v. Alternative Resources Corp. lawsuit on an employee who complained about racial harassment is also discussed.
