To the precedent of Paula's case, a prominent case, which exemplified the sometimes institutionalized presence of inappropriate sexuality in the workplace, came to light when "eight women and one man were fired from a North Mankato (MN) women's shelter because (allegedly) they refused to fit into the sexually charged atmosphere created by a few staff members." (Lang, 1) the clarity of motives for their collective dismissal aligned the decision directly with Title VII.
Still, the burden of proof, as is underlying in the constitutionality of our criminal and civil law systems, lay with the plaintiff. Thus, even if such incidences are said to have occurred, the judicial examination of any case would demand a prying deconstruction of the claim and the individual making said claim. Therefore, it will fall upon Paula to prove that Sam had made inappropriate and unwanted sexual advances toward her and further, that her refusal to be involved further with Sam was the grounds for the rejection of her request for transfer.
From the perspective of Newcorp, though there is a potential to damage the credibility of her case by noting that she had been voluntarily involved with Sam and inappropriately at that. By blurring the line between the point at which their mutual indiscretions ended and his singular indiscretions began, it may be possible to counter claims of sexual harassment. However, the gender discrimination issue relating to a hypothetical pregnancy will constitute a legal transgression.

Paul's refusal to work in a space which he finds dangerous or physically intolerable reflects a justifiable claim against the maintenance of facilities at Newcorp and manifests as cause for OSHA to investigate the conditions there. The claim on Paul's part that the pulp shredder with which he was working was in too narrow a space resulted in Newcorp's moving the machine to a difference location, which Paul claimed also was inadequate.
Because Newcorp's internal safety inspectors deemed this new site adequately safe, Newcorp should be willing to...

Paula states that the rationale for the refusal is also violation of Title IIV and EEOC (Equal Opportunity Commission Policy) as it is based merely on the fact that she is a woman and has the potential to become pregnant. Sam's use of his power is also a continuation of his harassment, and now seems explicitly 'quid pro quo.' Not accepting his advances resulted in a negative impact upon
