New York City Sexual Harassment Lawyers<\/strong>\u00a0– Back in 2007, a jury awarded Madison Square Garden executive Anucha Browne Sanders $11.6 million in damage stemming from a New York City sexual harassment and wrongful termination lawsuit. A jury found that Sanders had been sexually harassed by then-New York Knicks coach and NBA Detriot Pistons Basketball great Isiah Thomas, and then had been wrongfully terminated after complaining about the harassment.
\n 
\nNow, Thomas has been hired as the WNBA\u2019s New York Liberty president and also part-owner \u2013 sending a shock wave across the NBA and WNBA as well as raising concerns from many on the female basketball team and their management. Thomas consistently maintains his innocence, despite the jury\u2019s ruling.
\nTo ease players\u2019 anxieties<\/a>, Thomas and Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan, met with the Liberty team \u00a0to clear the air, answer questions the female basketball players may have, and address the uncomfortable situation head-on.
\n“My personal experience with Isiah Thomas has been nothing but professional … and I expect it to remain the same moving forward,” liberty veteran Essence Carson said. “And I would expect it to be that way for players 1 through 12, 1 through 15 and the entire office on the Liberty side.”
\nThe WNBA still must approve Thomas\u2019 ownership bid, and the team\u2019s union expressed they were \u201cmonitoring\u201d the situation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0What should I do if I company I work for has a history of sexual harassment complaints?<\/h2>\n

When you accept a new position at a new company, it\u2019s important you recognize that the job is a good fit for both you and the employer. In some cases, you might be dealing with a New York City business that has a history of sexual harassment and gender discrimination complaints. Alternatively, you may work for a company who has now hired someone who has been involved in prior sexual harassment legal disputes.
\nWhat do you do in an uncomfortable situation like this? You certainly do not need to put yourself in harm\u2019s way. By being diligent and doing your homework, you can help ensure you\u2019ll stay protected from unethical and illegal behavior:<\/p>\n
