Many Chicago employers may not be aware of male on male sexual harassment, but it happens. And one North Carolina restaurant is paying a stiff penalty for ignoring just this kind of harassment.
When men sexually harass other men, the harassment often goes unpunished. This may be because men are embarrassed to bring the complaint in the first place, or that employers just ignore the complaints as horseplay. However, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is slowly suing more and more employers on behalf of men who say they've been harassed.
