Lucille is an electronics assembler at a Universal Global Industries factory. Bob is a quality controller for the assembly line on which Lucille works. He is also the son-in-law of the plant manager. He asks Lucille for oral sex. She refuses. Bob tells her that she better reconsider or she will be sorry. Bob starts finding fault with the quality of Lucille's work and she has to re-assemble some of the products on which she has previously worked. As a result, her wages decline because she is paid by the volume of products that she produces. He also tells his mother-in-law, the plant manager, that Lucille has been flirting with him. Lucille is reprimanded for flirting with Bob. Lucille knows that Universal Global has a sexual harassment policy but she does not use it. Instead, she files a complaint with the EEOC.
A) Universal Global will be liable to Lucille for quid pro quo sexual harassment because she has suffered a loss of a tangible employment benefit.
B) Universal Global will not be liable to Lucille for quid pro quo sexual harassment because Bob is not her supervisor.
C) Universal Global may be liable to Lucille for hostile work place sexual harassment because Bob's actions were severe and pervasive.
D) Universal Global will not be liable to Lucille because it did not know about Bob's actions nor could it have reasonably known.
