Washington stanley cup mdash; The Senate on Thursday gave final approval to legislation guaranteeing that people who experience sexual harassment at work can seek recourse in the courts, a milestone for the MeToo movement that prompted a national reck stanley water bottle oning on the way sexual misconduct claims are handled.The measure, which passed the House earlier this week and is expected to be signed by President Biden, bars employment contracts from forcing people to settle sexual assault or harassment cases through arbitration rather than in court, a process that often benefits employers and keeps misconduct allegations from becoming public.Significantly, the bill is retroactive, nullifying that language in contracts nationw stanley cups ide and opening the door for people who had been bound by it to take legal action. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York who has spearheaded the effort, called it one of the most significant workplace reforms in American history.

No longer will survivors of sexual assault or harassment in the workplace come forward and be told that they are legally forbidden to sue their employer because somewhere in buried their employment contracts was this forced arbitration clause, she said.Gillibrand, who has focused on combating sexual harassment and sexual misconduct in the military, originally introd Jxcb What did Hillary Clinton do in her first 2016 SNL appearance

AP At some point in the course of all tragedies, human or environmental or both, frustration turns to anger -- and anger turns to blame. Blame is usually attached to the body most responsible for the problem. In the case of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, it has been focused on the oil company responsible, BP.
