一名新西兰公共汽车司机在法庭发现她的经理通过强迫性交换工作对她进行性骚扰后,赢得了60 000美元的损害赔偿。 A New Zealand bus driver won $60,000 in damages after a tribunal found her manager sexually harassed her through a coerced exchange of work for sex.

人权审查法庭发现,一名新西兰女公共汽车司机(单身母亲,面临经济困难)遭受了严重的性骚扰,包括与其分部经理达成交换条件安排,据称该经理为换取性服务提供了更多的工作时间。 A New Zealand female bus driver, a single mother facing financial hardship, was found by the Human Rights Review Tribunal to have endured severe sexual harassment involving a quid pro quo arrangement with her branch manager, who allegedly offered more work hours in exchange for sex. 尽管她处于困境,雇主忽视了两起正式投诉,但她继续工作,直到辞职。 Despite her distress and two formal complaints ignored by her employer, she continued working until resigning. 法庭裁定,由于权力不平衡,她的行为受到反复、不受欢迎和剥削,侵犯了她的人权,因侮辱、精神伤害和丧失尊严,判她60 000美元的损害赔偿。 The tribunal ruled the conduct—repeated, unwelcome, and exploitative—violated her human rights due to the power imbalance, awarding $60,000 in damages for humiliation, emotional harm, and loss of dignity. 虽然经理否认错失行为,声称存在双方同意的关系,但法庭维持了胁迫的结论。 Though the manager denied wrongdoing, claiming a consensual relationship, the tribunal upheld the finding of coercion. 雇主以保密方式解决了此案,但经理个人负有个人责任。 The employer settled the case confidentially, but the manager was held personally liable. 该决定强调了金融脆弱性和工作场所力量失衡如何导致胁迫行为,称其为此类最严重的案例。 The decision highlighted how financial vulnerability and workplace power imbalances can enable coercive behavior, calling it the most serious case of its kind.
