History

Historical Context

In 1986 the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson that hostile-work-environment harassment violates Title VII, establishing sexual harassment as actionable discrimination. The decision spurred EEOC filings, which jumped from 10 cases before 1986 to 624 in 1987. Today JPMorgan Chase faces a New York lawsuit that relies on that precedent.
