People magazine reports that Naomi Campbell has settled a legal dispute with her former housekeeper, Gaby Gibson.  The supermodel’s employee claimed she was struck by Campbell and verbally abused when the employee could not find a pair of jeans.  The settlement is sealed, but People magazine reports that both Campbell and her former housekeeper are satisfied with the agreement.  Campbell has a history of violent behavior, having been found guilty of assaulting two police officers in London’s Heathrow airport last April.  For full article:  http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20252750,00.html?cnn=yes

Although most employees do not find themselves in such hostile work environment, many will find themselves in a situation where they are discriminated against because of their race, color, religion, sex or national origin.  Discriminating against an individual based on any of these grounds is unlawful and can be prosecuted under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Please visit the EEOC’s website for further information: www.eeoc.gov/policy/vii.html.
