In that chapter, one of the topics that was brought up was sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is directly correlated with the #MeToo movement that has become very prominent within the past year or so.

The #MeToo movement is directly impacting the hospitality industry employees for various reasons. What are some of the reasons the hospitality industry is often more vulnerable to sexual harassment? Please provide examples.

Within the YouTube clip I asked you to watch, the discussion is based on a bill that will potentially protect women and individuals working in service industries. What are some ways that the bill will help to protect employees against sexual harassment? If this bill were to be passed, do you think it will help our industry employees be better protected from sexual harassment? Please discuss and explain your answers/reasoning.
