SUPREME COURT - Who is a Supervisor?

"Hinging on Supervisor Definition, Supreme Court Reviews Work Harassment Case" PBS Newshour 11/26/2012

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): ..... Who qualifies as a supervisor in the workplace? That might seem obvious most of the time, but as a legal matter, courts have come to different conclusions, some saying it's confined to someone with powers such as hiring and firing, others deciding on a broader definition.

The Supreme Court looked at the issue today in a case where a woman claims a co-worker harassed her because of her race.

Marcia Coyle of "The National Law Journal" was in the courtroom to hear the arguments and is here with us tonight.
