Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bulk Foods is liable for sexual harassment even if the harassment is by a co-worker or a third party. When the harassment is by someone who is not employed by the employer, such as a client or someone who comes in to service the machinery at the employer's business, the employer is liable if the employer knew or should have known of the acts of the harasser and took no immediate corrective action.
