The Navy announced Friday that it had relieved Capt. Gregory McWherter, a two-time commander of the Blue Angels, of duty for alleged misconduct. He is accused of tolerating sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.
\nThe Blue Angels is the Navy\u2019s acrobatic fighter squadron from which Captain McWherter has been re-assigned. A former member of the Blue Angels<\/a> filed a complaint last month accusing McWherter of tolerating sexually explicit speech, open displays of pornography and jokes about sexual orientation by his subordinates. A general pattern of hazing was said to be encouraged by the Captain.
\nAll branches of the U.S. military have been the center of bad press and sex scandals over the past few years. A number of sexual assault cover-ups and leniency amongst higher-ups in the military has garnered a lot of negative attention from the media.
\nThe Navy released a statement from Vice Adm. David H. Buss, the commander of Naval Air Forces, who said, \u201cWe remain fully committed to accountability, transparency, and protecting the integrity of ongoing investigations.\u201d
\nHave you been subjected to a hostile work environment?<\/i><\/b><\/a>
\nProtocol for handling sexual harassment claims differs for civilians versus those in the military, but the general standards are the same. To constitute a hostile work environment, the conditions you endured created an offensive and intimidating atmosphere. Sexual harassment often results in a hostile work environment, but what is offensive to one person might be completely acceptable to another.
\nIf you\u2019ve been harassed, tormented, bullied or abused in the workplace, you may be able to collect compensation. In any event, you should stand up to your harasser and let them know the behavior is unacceptable. Speak with an New York City Sexual Harassment Attorney<\/a>, Abogado de Acoso Sexual en Filadelfia<\/a> o Newark Sexual Harassment Attorney<\/a> who can evaluate your case and determine whether pursuing legal action is appropriate.
