The case was finally resolved at plaintiff's $ 3.5 million.

After years of harassment by Eveleth Mines, Lois Jenson and his colleagues Patricia S. Kosmach and Kathleen Anderson filed a lawsuit against Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite in 1988. This case became a first-class lawsuit against sexual harassment in the Federal Court of the United States and became a precedent to the future harassment trial. Male miners view these women as threats. They saw Jenson "like a woman I have never seen before." The next day, the miner told Jenson, "You ... that woman does not belong here, others were forced to invite women, moved, kissed. Women are being threatened and being tracked.The men draw sensual cartoons on the walls and decorate the workplace with decorative pictures.
