FEMALE POLICE OFFICERS EXPERIENCE HARASSMENT AND A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT
A hostile work environment can occur at any job --- even at the police academy. No matter where it occurs, a hostile work environment is against California and federal law. A hostile work environment is created by unwelcome conduct in the workplace that takes the form of discriminatory harassment toward one or more employees. If you have been the victim of a hostile work environment, an experienced employment attorney can help.
The female officers claim their supervisors made derogatory, condescending comments to them about their gender. The women also claim that their supervisors harassed them in front of their co-workers, and they did not report the comments out of fear of retaliation by the supervisors. As a result, the women stated that they did not feel comfortable returning to work at the academy, where they had been employed for years.
