MEN AND WOMEN CAN BE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE CA WORKPLACE
While we tend to think of sexual harassment in terms of women, men can also be victims of the illegal behavior. In California, your employer is breaking the law if he is harassing you, whether you are a man or a woman. Sexual harassment can take many forms, including inappropriate jokes, gestures, sexual innuendos, and requests for sexual activity. As an employee in California, you are protected against sexual harassment in your place of work.
When three employees at a local Lowe’s, 2 women and one man, were subjected to widespread and repeated sexual harassment by male and female managers and coworkers at a Lowe’s store, they took legal action. They alleged that the sexually hostile workplace, which endured for more than six months, included physical and verbal abuse which culminated in one instance of sexual assault. The three employees received over $1.7 million in damages for the harassment they suffered.
