Episode 20: Confronting Harassment within the Federal Judiciary
from Broken Law · host American Constitution Society
Over 30,000 people work for the federal judiciary, a system that the public relies on for redressing sexual and workplace harassment. And yet, those 30,000 employees go to work each and every day without the protection of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Now, some employees are taking the federal judiciary to court for sexual harassment in the workplace. Ashley Erickson talks with Ally Coll and Deeva Shah about this litigation and the reforms needed to protect the employees who keep our courts running. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Ashley Erickson, ACS Director of Network Advancement Guest: Ally Coll, President and Co-Founder of The Purple Campaign Guest: Deeva Shah, Associate at Keker, Van Nest & Peters Link: Brief of Amici Curiae Legal Momentum, National Women's Law Center, The Purple Campaign, and 32 Additional Organizations in Support of Plaintiff -Appellant Link: Brief of Amici Curiae for Named and Unnamed Current and Former Employees of the Federal Judiciary Who Were subject to or Witnessed Misconduct as Amici Curiae in Support of Appellant Jane Roe Link: Brief of Amici Curiae Aziz Huq and Erwin Chemerinsky in Support of Appellant, regarding the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
