Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson
''Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson'', 477 U.S. 57 (1986), marked the United States Supreme Court's recognition of certain forms of sexual harassment as a violation of Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VII, and established the standards for analyzing whether conduct was unlawful and when an employer would be liable.
==Case facts==
After being fired from her job at a Meritor Savings Bank, Mechelle Vinson sued Sidney Taylor, the Vice President of the bank. Vinson charged that Taylor had coerced her to have sexual relations with him and made demands for sexual favors while at work. Vinson stated that she had intercourse with Taylor 40 or 50 times. Additionally she testified that Taylor had touched her in public, exposed himself to her, and forcibly raped her multiple times.
She argued such harassment created a ''hostile working environment'' and a form of unlawful discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.〔 Vinson sought injunctive relief along with compensatory and punitive damages against Taylor and the bank.
The primary question presented was: "Is a hostile work environment a form of unlawful discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964,〔 or is the Act limited to "tangible economic discrimination" in the workplace?"
