Woman Sues Boss Over 'Mini-Skirt' Monday (And more)
Newsmax ^ | August 8, 2011 | Caroline Rawls

Posted on 08/09/2011 8:54:36 PM PDT by tlb

Trude Nycole Anderson filed a civil complaint in U.S. District Court alleging that Derek Wright, owner of Pleasant Creek-based Lone Peak Controls and D&L Electric Control Co., sexually harassed her for years. Part of that harassment included a provocative memo mandating a day-by-day work attire schedule, the suit maintains.

A copy of the complaint obtained by the Salt-Lake Tribune outlines the proposed dress code. The schedule called for “Mini-skirt Monday,” “Tube-top Tuesday,” “Wet T-shirt Wednesday,” “No bra Thursday,” and “Bikini top Friday.”

Wright supervised Anderson at D&L Electric Control for almost four years. During that time, he “repeatedly asked Ms. Anderson about her breast size and talked about her breasts in front of other employees,” according to the complaint.

The 44-year-old Anderson also claims that Wright slapped her on the buttocks and taunted her.

A single mother, Anderson believes she was targeted because her supervisor knew she could not afford to lose her job and would be hesitant to report the harassment. Upon reporting her supervisor in February 2011, she was fired almost immediately.

Anderson is suing for wrongful termination as well as for battery and emotional distress.

Dear Bob:

If this was your daughter, would you find it amusing?

Then you are perfectly fine with your male boss having "Assless chaps Monday" and telling you what a fine package you have?

Still think it is "refreshing"?

Dear Minn:

Trust me, I have seen hypersensitive folks in action. A bad case looking for something they can sue over; they can kill morale and production faster than someone like this guy (presuming what is alleged is true).

Conversely, if it were my daughter, she would have been out of there and her boss would have been eating through a straw.

Since they’re not showing pictures, I cannot comment as to whether she should be complaining. Overall, if you’re a babe, you’d be advertising those facts.

You must think we're still living in the 1960's.

I recall an apocryphal story about a woman who was groped in the supply closet by the supervisor, who then asked for a little more than a feel.

She solved the problem by kneeing him in the balls HARD, and as he was writhing, told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever even did so much as LOOK at her funny, she was going straight to his WIFE.

Problem solved.

Cheers!

“Dear Bob:

No, but I’d expect her to be a bit more mature about it.

Yea, I agree. That’s an excellent show. Sucks that they missed a year of filming. We had an awesome country back then.

I’d volunteer to remove his chest hair (if he has any) using hot wax...that would be right after he’s legs got shaved using dry method, no lather.

How perceptive of you. Was it the fact that the picture is 400 years old that tipped you off? I typed in Humorless Old Bag and Trude Nycole Anderson and Google gave me a picture of Helen Thomas. Who would have thought?

Sure they would. It would be so funny.

Abuse of power is just roll on the floor hilarious. Everyone should point at the victims and just laugh.

As a single mother, she probably feared losing her job.

Sleazy men who harass women make it harder for every good man who innocently says “Nice dress”.

This boss is a fool; he should be treating his female employees with respect and dignity, as any good man would do. Because of his foolishness, he’s given the Left fresh ammo, which will promptly be fired upon the Good Men who genuinely value and respect women.

“There are still idiots out there who treat women with disrespect.” (fixed your spelling)

Now, now, now. What’s so disrespectful about letting a babe know that you think she’s HOT? I would think it would be more disrespectful to let one that’s not know she’s not...

ie; It’s poor etiquette to tell a fat woman she’s fat, or an ugly woman she’s ugly... It seems you can joke with a pretty woman about things like that.

This man - woman thing is not new you know. It’s been going on since the beginning of time...

That only works if he has a wife who he fears and if you don't need the job.

Not a combination you can always be sure of finding.
