SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS ILLEGAL IN YOUR CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE

No matter where you work, CA and federal labor law clearly state that sexual harassment is against the law. Sexual harassment can occur between men and women or between individuals of the same gender. No matter what, it is illegal.

There are two types of illegal sexual harassment:
1. Quid pro quo, which means "this for that" or "something for something"
2. Hostile environment - conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment

When female servers at a local restaurant were subjected to sexual jokes and requests and touching by their male supervisor, they stood up for their rights and took legal action. The women allege that their supervisor asked them to make porn videos with him and made numerous comments about their bodies. Such behavior and/or requests are against the law in California.
