Alma worked on the assembly line in the New Satellite Radio Company factory. The reputation of the working atmosphere at New Satellite was so bad that it was considered the last resort of anybody who needed a job. Alma's supervisor, Helena, accused her of having sex with the factory owner, Milos, and suggested that Alma date some of the male employees instead. Helena brought a copy of a tattoo magazine, which included nude photos of Alma, to the factory and showed it to some employees. Milos talked to Alma about sex, asked her to watch pornographic movies with him and asked her for dates. Alma gave Milos excuses rather than direct refusals because she feared the loss of her job. Twice, when Alma asked male co-workers to move boxes of parts for her, they refused and she cursed at them. They responded by calling her vulgar names. They told her that some of the guys at work had plans to see her tattoos in person. Alma quit and filed a complaint of sexual harassment.
A) Alma cannot show that she found the behavior in the plant offensive because she posed for nude pictures in a magazine that was circulated in the plant and she cursed at her co-workers.
B) Alma cannot show that she found Milos' sexual advances to be unwelcome because she did not tell him.
C) Alma cannot complain about her supervisor's comments because her supervisor is female.
D) None of the choices are correct.
