According to a congressional committee report this week, sexual harassment and bullying among
National Park Service employees at some of the nation's most iconic
parks—including Yosemite, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon—is pervasive
and has continued unabated for years.
At Yosemite alone, at least 18 employees
described working conditions as “toxic,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz
(R-Utah), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee.
As women become more and more in positions of power and their remarks less likely to be shouted down, they are able to demand that sexual harassment issues be addressed and challenged.
Park Service executives vowed last spring to end harassment, declaring a “zero tolerance” position on sexual harassment. But congressional committee members accused Park Service management of failing to take harassment seriously.
