Several participants in New York City's Work Experience Program, a mandatory welfare work program, experienced harassment at their work- sites. When they sued under Title VII, the city argued that they were not employees. The women worked at a number of different city agencies. For their work, they received cash public assistance, food stamps, transportation, childcare expenses, and eligibility for workers' compensation. Recipients who unjustifiably re- fuse to work lose a portion of their family's grant. Are participants in this "welfare-to-work" pro- gram employees? (United States of America v. City of New York, 359 F.3d 83 (2d Cir. 2004))
