MY CO-WORKER LOOKS AT PORN AT WORK: DOES CALIFORNIA LABOR LAW PROTECT ME IN LOS ANGELES?

The answer is a resounding YES. In California, it is against the law for your employer to promote or not take care of a hostile work environment. A hostile work environment can exist when you are fearful about going to work because of the offensive, intimidating, or oppressive atmosphere generated by the harasser. The harasser could be harassing you directly, or one of your co-workers, or, as is the case with internet porn, he or she might not intend to harass any one person in general.

An experienced employment lawyer can tell you what constitutes a hostile work environment. In California, it appears that a co-worker who uses a work computer to access and look at interenet pornography while at work is definitely creating an uncomfortable, and possibly unlawful, environment. If you have complained to your boss about such a co-worker and your boss has not taken any steps to take care of the problem, you might need to take legal action.
