Discriminatory Hostile Work Environment Sample Clauses

Discriminatory Hostile Work Environment. A work environment that is hostile because of an employee’s national origin violates Title VII. See Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc., 000 X.X. 00, 21, 000 X. Xx. 000, 126 L. Ed. 2d 295 (1993); Xxxx x. Xxxxx-Xxxxxxx, Inc., 318 F.3d 796, 798 (8th Cir. 2003). To establish a claim for hostile work environment based on discrim- ination a plaintiff must show that (1) he is a member of a protected group, (2) there was unwelcome har- assment, (3) there was a causal nexus between the harassment and membership in the protected group, and (4) the harassment affected a term, condition, or privilege of employment. Xxxxxx v. CEVA Logistics U.S., Inc., 619 X.0x 000, 000 (0xx Xxx. 0000); see also Xxxxxxx x. Xxxxxxx Mktg. Grp., Inc., 000 X.X.0x 000, 000 n.11 (Minn. 2008). “To the extent non-supervisory employees are responsible for the harassment, ‘the plaintiff must also show that the employer knew or should have known about the harassment but failed to take proper action.’ ” Xxxxxx, 619 F.3d at 941 (quoting Xxxxxxxx v. ConAgra Poultry Co., 378 F.3d 790, 794 (8th Cir. 2004)). To establish that harassment altered a term, condition, or privilege of employment, a plaintiff must “show that it was ‘severe or pervasive enough to cre- ate an objectively hostile or abusive work environ- ment – an environment that a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive.’ ” Xxxx, 318 F.3d at 800 (quoting Xxxxxx, 510 U.S. at 21). This standard “is a demanding one, and ‘[s]imple teasing, offhand comments, and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious)’ will not suffice.” Xxxxxx, 619 F.3d at 942 (alteration in original) (quoting Arraleh v. Cnty. of Xxxxxx, 461 F.3d 967, 979 (8th Cir. 2006)). Instead, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the workplace was “permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). And the “ ‘[m]ere utterance of an epithet which engenders offensive feelings in an employee does not sufficiently affect the conditions of employ- ment to support a claim of hostile work environ- ment.’ ” Id. (alteration in original) (quoting Arraleh, 461 F.3d at 979). “The environment must be both objectively hostile to a reasonable person and subjec- tively hostile to the victim.” Xxxxxx v. Univ. of Minn., 408 F.3d 470, 476 (8th Cir. 2005). The Court assesses the existence of a hostile work environment “based on the totality of the cir- cumstances.” O’Brien v. Dep’t of Agric., 532 X.0x 000, 000 (0xx Xxx. 0000). Specifically, the Cour...
