Sexual Harassment

Leona was an exceptionally well formed woman who loved to work on trucks. She had little education. She was a devoted wife and mother and was strong. She was the winter soldier of her workplace. She showed up when it was cold, when it was hot and when no one else would.

The rough and crude rancher and oil field workers ganged up on her and did so with the encouragement of her boss. The $10 million company for whom she worked did nothing to protect her and ignored her protests. She was subjected to constant sexual harassment in words, pictures and objects.

When the federal case was done, she had a six figure settlement, they bought her home, fired her boss, and his companions in this foul play, relocated her to a city of her choice, and retrained the remaining staff.
