Should Workplace Hostility Be A Crime-like Sexual Harrassment?
Q: Should workplace hostility be a crime-like sexual harrassment?
My husband's ex manager(he quit after being confronted) forked girls in the breasts and threatened their jobs,but my husband and his co-worker,who was flicked in the privates and pushed and shoved and had coins thrown in his face along with years of daily putdowns and harrassment has less of a case- and no! He couldn't go to the good ol'boy network at HR as the others who did got fired and laid off and NEVER worked in the industry again----any court rulings for this?Oh, forgot the 3 guns and 300 rounds of hollow points the guy brought to work-where no one seems concerned about the relative DANGER the guy could be---
A: Where in God's name did your husband work? Yes, you have a case. Go find a human rights attorney in your area -- immediately. If everything you say is true, they'll take your case in a heartbeat. BTW, being flicked in the privates does constitute sexual harrassment and these other things you mention go well beyond workplace hostility and are actually workplace abuse. So get an attorney. If the first one you talk to turns the case down, it just may be because the case is too big and too dirty for them to handle (although they'll never admit that). Keep trying until you find one to represent you.
