Re: $37m for touching her bra strap
This woman has every right to have her day in court, no one should be harrassed sexually or otherwise. I just hope someone sees common sense about the money because it's absolutely ridiculous.

Re: $37m for touching her bra strap
yes how much does some poor construction worker or factory worker get if he loses an arm leg or an eye at work? $200-$500 grand probably,
But some lady claims $37m for her bra strap being touched.

Re: $37m for touching her bra strap
For the benefit of all women, that should happen. All this case is doing is making out that women are only interested in going after the big money, for the tiniest thing whatsoever.
No-one is interested in the actual facts of the case anymore, just the payout figure.
Earlier this year a 29 year old rape victim was granted $21,750 compensation.
How in hells name does this woman think her case is worth $37M ?

Re: $37m for touching her bra strap
Former Female David Jones Employee is claiming $37m becasue her boss touched he bra strap and made some unwelcome comments. Thats insane workers who lose their arms and legs or go blind in workplace accidents get a tiny fraction of that. If she worked as a waitress in some fast food joint and the boss touched her up she would probably get nothing , but when its some middle class woman working in a posh department store she gets millions. No wonder 16 other women are now making claims against him to cash in, l bet if he said to one of them " you look nice today" they would bring a sexual harrassment law suit against him and the store.

Re: $37m for touching her bra strap
I don't actually understand why she should get anything. If its found that he has been playing fast and loose with various women's bra straps then he should be fired but she doesn't need anything, I don't quite understand it

I thought she said that she had reported him to the company and they had done nothing.I don't know if this is true but the amount of money she is claiming has turned it into a joke I am afraid.The other side of it is no one should have to put up with being sexually abused with the company just turning a blind eye if true.Sue.

I have just read that he was counselled up to 10 times to act better towards women so maybe the bosses tried.Sue.
