Meritor Savings Bank

Meritor Savings Bank was a financial institution involved in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case in 1986, known as *Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson*. The case established that sexual harassment creating a hostile work environment is a form of sex discrimination under federal law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act). The ruling clarified that unwelcome sexual advances or remarks can be illegal workplace harassment. This case helped solidify employees' rights to a safe and respectful work environment and set important legal standards for addressing workplace harassment.
