Male Employees’ Sex Harassment Case Settles Before Full 11th Circuit Rules
Lawyers watching a sexual harassment case that tested the limits of acceptable workplace behavior won't get to hear what the full 11th Circuit thinks of the matter. The case, brought by two male Home Depot employees who claimed a male manager made sexual overtures to them, has settled. The case was heard in a rare en banc session in June. Indications were that the judges were wrestling with how to apply a January decision by the full court in a sexual harassment case involving the use of explicit language in the workplace.
