FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
MOTLEY, District Judge.
Plaintiff, Helen Christoforou, was an employee of Ryder Truck Rental, Inc. at one of its Manhattan rental offices from 1980 until early 1983, at which time she was fired. Plaintiff has brought this action pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., claiming that her termination was the product of illegal sexual harassment. Plaintiff also contends that the “hostile environment” of her workplace due to the alleged sexual harassment supplies an independent basis for Title VII liability. 1
