Besides the sexually hostile atmosphere, a plaintiff can make a sexual harassment claim by showing an actual or implied connection between keeping a job and sexual favors. There is not even the slightest hint of that in this instance.

What you have described is an incident that an employer should address, but not nearly enough to maintain a claim.

I disagree. The EEOC and DOL are becoming far more aggressive in their support of, and pursuit of, claims. The atmosphere has changed significantly in the last year or so.
