Sexual Harassment Case Between Cordoza Vs. Foodservice Inc.

The sexual harassment case between Cordoza vs. Foodservice Inc., Creative Marketing Solutions and Harrison is a very sticky case that needs to be decided. I have read all the material given about all the different cases in the past where it shows clearly it is very hard to convict someone of sexual harassment. You have to keep a lot of things in mind when you are deciding what you think the outcome if this case should be. To begin I will start trying to determine my thoughts on the outcome of the case by first stating what the courts definition of sexual harassment is. â€Å"Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964†. â€Å"Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law†¦show more content†¦The company was involved in many non-profits organizations and provided many services for them for free. Both companies have great reputations in the community and the business world. Ms. Cordoza believes she was sexual harassed over the eight months she worked with Food Service Inc. and Mr. Harrison. She also believed her company was aware of the harassment that was going on but failed to do anything but instead â€Å"looked the other way† and did nothing to resolve the situation. Since they failed to do so and let it to continue Ms. Cordoza felt she should file for damages. Mr. Harrison felt that he and Ms. Cordoza had become close friends over time that they worked together on this marketing campaign and on other marketing campaigns. Mr. Harrison said he tried to help her make business connections in the community because she was new to town and didn’t know anyone and to try and help her network her business in the community. He also stated she was a very likable person and thought she would do well. Ms. Cordoza stated the harassment started after a networking event they attended with the Chamber of Commerce. The two went to dinner across the street from the event and Mr. Harrison insisted he pay for dinner. She said she offered several times to pay but did not want to cause any problems so she just let him pay the bill.
