BUTTOCK GRABBING NOT ACTIONABLE
 
 

A factory worker sued her employer after being grabbed "with force." The Eighth Circuit found that the employer could only be liable if it "knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take prompt remedial action" since the harassment was committed by a co-worker, not a supervisor. The alleged harasser was suspended for five days, warned, sent to training and the harassment stopped. The prompt remedial action resulted in no employer liability.
