Wendy Musell, working with Legal Aid at Work, filed a sexual harassment case against the United States Postal Service on behalf of two female letter carries who were sexually harassed by a supervisor who had been harassing female employees for over a decade. According to the lawsuit, the supervisor’s sexual behavior was an open secret at the post office, yet no effective actions were taken to end the behavior. Ms. Musell’s clients alleged that the harasser’s conduct began with inappropriate comments and escalated to unwanted touching. One of the plaintiffs said that the harasser told her that he “loved” her and then wrapped “his arms around her, kissing her aggressively with his tongue, causing her to fall down and then falling on top of her.” The case was settled for $600,000, as well as an agreement to conduct additional training and implement new policies.
