Re: Cyndi Xenon: Discrimination Claim (Sexual Harassment) Redlands, Ca.

Cyndi Xenon our client came to our office on 2 May, 2014 to get advice on how to handle what she feels is sexual harassment. She presented her concerns, which dated back to February 2005.  She was an assembler on the production line.  She is also a part time model for Biker-Babe magazine, Rode and Driver, and other automotive magazines.  She was asked out on dates by co-workers as well as the owner of Auto-Components Plant, Inc. John Yanke.  John was asking her to get paper or coins out of his pocket or pick up coins off the ground.  This would get the other workers to make catcalls and laugh at her.

Cyndi had never complained in the years that she worked at the Plant.  She would say things back to the men in a sexual manner and make them laugh.  In October 2010, Cyndi applied and received a promotion to a position in sales.

The people in the sales department were more business oriented and did not make crude comments to Cyndi.  She was now dressing in tight skirts instead of jeans and tee-shirts.

Cyndi was still joked with when she would have to go to the Plant floor, which was located on the same grounds as the sales department.

In January 2014, John was still asking Cyndi to go out and became aggressive in public by touching and brushing up against her.  Cyndi would object every time he did it.  The other workers started copying John’s activities.

On May 5, 2014, Cyndi negotiated a large deal with National Auto-Parts Stores, Inc.  On 1 May, the deal was announced at a sales meeting on the same day that John attended.  After the meeting with others in their presence, John asked Cyndi if she had slept with the National Auto-Parts Stores, Inc. buyer.  Cyndi said no and left the building upset.
