April Bloomfield Breaks Her Silence About Harassment at Her Restaurants. Date: 16th October 2018
The article is about Bloomfield, a British chef who was working in a restaurant together with Friedman, her partner in the business. In this article, she is astonished after she discovers that it has been known that her partner had been sexually abusing the employees in the restaurant. She had also been ill-treating her fellow women as well. The case was the first in the culinary industry from the time a movement by the title MeToo was established.
According to a previous article that had been written by the New York Times, at least 24 employees who had worked at the restaurant had testified sexual harassment by Friedman, who she partners in business. Although Bloomfield knew about it, she never took the initiative took an initiative to make her partner refrain from this behavior. Bloomfield kept silent on the matter until later she accepted to let it be known that she could not try to stop Friedman because he was phenomenal in the success of their business (Julia M & Kim, 2018).
About the US constitution.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 under the title VII restricts any form of sexual harassment. This may be sex in exchange for a job opportunity or any favor like getting a promotion in the workplace. It also restricts one from harassing employees sexually, thereby creating an environment that does not give a conducive atmosphere for the employees to work.
The article is related to the constitution because Friedman is a boss at the restaurant had been sexually abusing the employees to that restaurant. This is against what the constitution offers. Since there should be no sexual harassment in the workplace, Friedman’s action is punishable by the law.
