• catalog abstract "As the bull market of the late 1990s soared toward its denouement, America's second-largest brokerage house, Salomon Smith Barney, was hit with a lawsuit that it initially described as having no merit. Three women employees from Garden City, New York, were alleging a pattern of extreme sexual harassment and sex discrimination at their branch office. But they were not to stand alone. A few months later, a similar lawsuit was filed against Merrill Lynch, the nation's biggest brokerage. Soon the plaintiffs in these class actions numbered in the thousands, their bizarre stories streaming in from Manhattan to California. Suits at other firms followed. -- Book Jacket. Taking its name from the infamous basement party room of a major brokerage branch near New York City, Tales from the Boom-Boom Room combines three spellbinding stories -- extreme, widespread sexual harassment and sex discrimination; legal maneuvering by Wall Street firms to deter or quietly settle sensational complaints; and multimillion-dollar class action lawsuits begun by a handful of female whistle-blowers against the two biggest brokerages in the nation. The author, whose disclosures in the press became a rallying cry against sexual hazing at branch offices across America, takes the reader directly into a red-hot tangle of shocking allegations and strenuous, across-the-board denials by firms and men accused. This drama's repercussions continue today, as new accusations are brought and longstanding complaints move toward the first-ever public hearings that the Boom-Boom Room case brought about.".
