Which one of the following statements is true of a hostile work environment?
Answer option D is correct.
A co-worker who witnesses the ongoing harassment of another individual may have an actionable claim of a hostile work environment. A single incident of unwanted touching (C), unless it is particularly offensive or intimidating, will not reach the threshold of a hostile work environment established by the courts. A hostile work environment may be created by any individual in the workplace, including customers, vendors, or visitors, in addition to supervisors or co-workers (A). In the case of Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, the Supreme Court held that the mere existence of a grievance procedure and antiharassment policy (B) does not necessarily protect an employer from hostile work environment claims. See Chapter 7 for more information.
