WOMAN SUES BOSS OVER "MINI SKIRT MONDAY'S" & "WET SHIRT WEDNESDAY'S" DRESS CODE!

While many offices have dress codes, one Utah County woman claims her former employer crossed the line by trying to force her to follow a sexist schedule of attire including "Mini-skirt Monday."

In a civil complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court, Trudy Nycole Anderson, 44, says her ex-supervisor Derek Wright sexually harassed her for years, even giving her a provocative memo dictating what she should wear for the week.

On top of "Mini-skirt Monday," the schedule called for "Tube-top Tuesday," "Wet T-shirt Wednesday," "No bra Thursday" and "Bikini top Friday," according to the Salt-Lake Tribune which obtained a copy of the complaint.

Wright, the owner of Lone Peak Controls and D&L Electric Control Company, was Anderson's supervisor for nearly four years.

During that time, according to the complaint, he "repeatedly asked Ms. Anderson about her breast size and talked about her breasts in front of other employees."

She also claims he slapped her on the buttocks, asked her to expose her breasts, and taunted her about whether she shaved her pubic area, according to the Tribune.

Wright regularly harassed her coworkers as well, Anderson says, and watched pornography in his office.

A single mother of three, Anderson says she was targeted because her boss knew she couldn't afford to lose her job. She claims he even made her sign a written document stating she would accept the harassment with the understanding that if she had a problem with it, she would be let go.

In February of 2011, Anderson says she was fired for reporting Wright's sexual harassment.

She is suing for the way she was terminated, as well as for the battery and emotional distress she says she suffered on the job.

"As a result of the stress and emotional trauma of this experience, Ms. Anderson has been losing sleep, seeking professional help and has ulcers," the complaint states.

A representative for the company told the Salt Lake Tribune they would have no comment on the case.
