Reeves v. C.H. Robinson Worldwide
2010 U.S. App. LEXIS 1157 (11th Cir. 2010) (January)
An employee brought a Title VII action against her employer for what she claimed was a hostile work environment. The employee sat near a group of coworkers in her office who regularly used vulgar language, often times regarding women. The lower court granted summary judgment to the employer, finding that this behavior did not single out the employee for being a woman. However, the Court reversed summary judgment on appeal. It held that the use of language specifically about women was sufficient to show that she suffered hostility that men in the office did not.
