THE VICTIM IS NOT AT FAULT
-- WHAT SHOULD YOU DO
IF YOU ARE HARASSED?
|
| Immediately tell
the harasser to stop his improper actions
"now." Report the harassment to a
supervisor in writing. Do not wait to see if it
"gets worse." If the harasser was your
supervisor, or there is no immediate action
against a fellow employee harasser (after being
reported to management), then legal action should
be instigated quickly before your job situation
deteriorates. It is also good to have all those
persons who were harassed complain together. It
takes the pressure off one worker and has a
greater effect in changing the illegal job
practices. Get supportive medical or counseling
help quickly if needed. |
