Today's Labor Quote: the arbitration panel in the 1997 Smith Barney sexual harassment case

The panel found that the workplace at the retail stock brokerage was "permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insults sufficiently severe and pervasive as to alter the conditions of her employment and create an abusive working environment."

Retail stock brokerage Smith Barney reaches a tentative sexual harassment settlement with a group of female employees. The suit charged, among other things, that branch managers asked female workers to remove their tops in exchange for money and one office featured a "boom boom room" where women workers were encouraged to "entertain clients." The settlement was never finalized: a U.S. District Court Judge refused to approve the deal because it failed to adequately redress the plaintiff's grievances - 1997
