Actionable Acts: "Severe" Conduct In Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment Cases, James Concannon

Buffalo Journal of Gender, Law & Social Policy

Part II begins the exploration into the disjunctive nature of the severe or pervasive test. …

For the larger group studied, employment for people with disabilities dropped after the ADA took effect, but their pay compared to other workers stayed about the same. For a smaller group of workers tracked every year, job levels did not show the same drop, though wages for people with disabilities were already falling …
