http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870411730457513 7881438719028.html?m%20od=djemCJ_t Since the start of the recession, a growing number of sexual harassment complaints have come from men. Some 16.4% of all sexual harassment claims—or 2,094 claims—were filed by men in fiscal 2009, up from 15.4%, or 1,869 claims, in fiscal 2006, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While male victims sometimes experience behavior like groping and unwanted sexual advances, employment lawyers say increasingly "locker room" type behavior like vulgar talk and horseplay with sexual connotations have been the subject of claims. Ron Chapman, an attorney with employment law firm Ogletree Deakins in Dallas, says in most cases the man suing is someone who has been fired or laid off. Cintas Corp., a Cincinnati business services company that makes uniforms and other products, is involved in a case where two former male employees alleged a male co-worker at a Pennsylvania location sexually groped and made unwanted sexual advances. The two men who filed the complaint were laid off as part of a broader work-force reduction and filed the complaint several months later in October 2008, says a Cintas spokeswoman. The case, which was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in September 2009, is still pending The spike in male sexual harassment claims coincides with a recession that has hit men harder than women. From September 2008 to January 2010, 4.4 million men lost their jobs compared with 2.3 million women, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics figures. As the economic downturn took hold in 2008, sexual harassment filings by men and women jumped by 10.8% to 13,920 claims. Employment lawyers say that when jobs are harder to obtain, many forms of litigation, especially discrimination, increase. .... more details on that link top "chinmaya chidaaanda chidvilasa brundaavana sundara sukumaara saundharya gaandharva lalaaama Thana yavvana poooritha prapoooritha prajwalitha netra thanaku thanai digivacchina vanithaa mani thana vihaara vinoda vinooothna spoorthi andhamai gandhamai anubandhamaiiiii.....
