Robinson v. Jacksonville Shipyards
Definition
- At issue in Robinson v. Jacksonville Shipyards (1991) was whether a court could apply the “reasonable woman” standard in a Title VII case involving sexual harassment in the workplace. In finding that the employer in Jacksonville Shipyards allowed for the creation of a sexually hostile work environment, a federal trial court in Florida decided that the female employee's Title VII claim was actionable.
