The Fourth District Court of Appeal has upheld a $1.1 million verdict for a plaintiff who alleged she was sexually harassed by a city employee while she performed services at the city under contract.  The court found that the city employee was her supervisor for purposes of Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) liability, and was therefore strictly liable to the employee.  CSAC has filed a letter supporting the city’s petition for review, which argues that the city is not the employer in this situation, and that the employee is already fully protected under FEHA by her rightful employer.  CSAC’s letter was prepared by Judith Islas and David Urban of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore in Los Angeles.
