☆ Listening to vulgar music that others can hear at work? You might be harassing your coworkers, a federal judge ruled
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-10 | by ( Aaron Mcdade | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

A US appeals court ruled that offensive music played loudly in the workplace may violate sex discrimination laws. A 2020 lawsuit against a Nevada company alleged that complaints about offensive music were ignored. That's the opinion of M. Margaret McKeown, an appeals court judge in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Employees' complaints to management about the music being played loudly throughout the Nevada warehouse were allegedly ignored, according to the suit. Therefore, music with that language being played loud enough for dozens of employees to hear could qualify as grounds for claim of workplace harassment.
