Full 11th Circuit Wrestles With Home Depot Sex Harassment Suit
The full 11th Circuit wrestled Tuesday over the matter of how claims that a Home Depot HR manager made sexual advances toward two employees fit with the court's potentially landmark January decision favoring plaintiffs in sex harassment cases. Tuesday's rare en banc arguments involved two former store managers who say they were fired for complaining about the manager. Three-judge panels of the 11th Circuit have twice looked at the case, reviving the retaliation claims but affirming dismissal of the harassment claims.
