An employee of a car care business accused the co-owner's business partner of sexually harassing her. Incredibly (and as an example of what not to do about a sexual harassment claim), the co-owner told her to stop flirting with his partner and asked her to sign a memo that "anything that happened was of a consensual nature." The employee was told she would be fired if she did not sign the memo. She refused to sign and did not return to work.
On Friday, March 3, 2006, Dana Corporation and certain of its affiliated companies (collectively, “Dana") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in New York. None of Dana's foreign incorporated affiliates are included in this bankruptcy petition and as such, any transaction with such affiliates should continue in the normal course. However, as a result of the bankruptcy filing, an automatic stay is in effect prohibiting creditors from seeking to take action to collect any amounts due to them from Dana which arose prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition.
