:confused: I keep reading here where employers are protected under the law to the point where they can treat any employee any way they want as long as they are not violating state and federal law (and most of those involve EEOC regulations against discrimination). Could someone PLEASE tell me where to find out what the actual rights of the employee are as far as feeling comfortable at work? It seems there isn't much out there to protect anyone, and once an "opinion" is made, whether right or wrong, employees livelihoods are at stake once a decision has been made. I would like this information BEFORE I have to take the steps of going to my legislator or senator about any of this. Please tell me there is SOME kind of leg for the employee to stand on if he or she is being harassed (legitimately, of course). Hostile work environments can and have been created whether discrimination according to the legal definition has occured or not and employees should not have to take that kind of behavior, much less leave a job they have worked long hard hours to make the situation better. There have GOT to be options! Employers have manipulated the law LONG ENOUGH!
