What is Workplace Harassment?
• Workplace harassment is when someone harasses you while you
are doing your job, or on your way to or from work. A harasser
can be anyone you come in contact with because of your work.
That person might be a:
• boss;
• supervisor;
• manager;
• Member of your board of directors;
• coworker;
• customer;
• patient;
• delivery person;
• person in your union.
Types Of Harassment
1) Bullying:- is a complex phenomenon of unwanted offensive and malicious
behaviour which undermines an individual or group through persistently
negative attacks. There is typically an unpredictable and irrational abuse of
power or position that can manifest itself in physical, verbal or non-verbal
forms. There is usually an element of vindictiveness attached to bullying and
the behaviour is calculated to undermine, patronise, humiliate, intimidate or
demean the recipient.

origin. It includes written or verbal threats or insults based on race, ethnicity or skin

derogatory namecalling, racist jokes, damage to property, the display of offensive
graffiti or insignia and incitement of others to commit any of the above

Legal Definitions for Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Two specific legal definitions of sexual harassment have been established in
employment law:
Quid Pro Quo Harassment: "Something for something;" this is the "you
do something for me
and I'll do something for you" type of exchange. This occurs when a job
benefit is directly tied to
an employee submitting to unwelcome sexual advances.
Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment: This occurs when an
employee is subjected to
comments of a sexual nature, offensive sexual materials, or
unwelcome physical contact as a
regular part of the work environment

Top 6 Cases Of Harassment
Top Cases of Sexual
Harassment
Bill Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky: Perhaps the most
famous presidential scandal in
our nation's history, Bill
Clinton's affair with White
House intern Monica
Lewinsky escalated far
beyond the Oval Office. People
all over the world watched as
Clinton's presidency took a
backseat to Ken Starr's
interest as to whether or not
Clinton had "sexual relations
with that woman." Eventually,
he became the second U.S.
president to face an
impeachment trial.
Anita Hill v.
Clarence Thomas
The conservative Supreme Court
:
Justice Clarence Thomas was
appointed to the court in 1991 by
President George H.W. Bush, an action
that "was instantly controversial"
among the NAACP (National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People), which "feared that
Thomas's conservative stance on
issues such as affirmative action
would reverse the civil rights gains
that Justice [Thurgood] Marshall had
fought so hard to achieve." Women's
groups also feared that Thomas would
enact of anti-abortion legislation. All
groups were ultimately shocked,
however, when Clarence Thomas was
accused of sexual harassment by a
University of Oklahoma law professor
named Anita Hill, who had once
worked for him at the Equal
Employment Opportunities
Commission. Despite the allegations
and investigation, Thomas was
narrowly elected to the U.S. Supreme
Court, and Hill was criticized for
"character assassination."
Lt. Gen. Claudia
Kennedy and the U.S.
Army
: In 2000, the Army's highest-
ranking female officer was Lt.
Gen. Claudia Kennedy an "oft-
touted example of how the
military has become more
accommodating to women,"
according to CNN.
Unfortunately for the Army's
reputation, however, Kennedy
insists that she was
inappropriately "fondled" by a
male officer. After reporting
the incident, the male officer
was "either promoted or given
a much-coveted posting"
instead of being punished, as
Kennedy had hoped.
Sen. Bob
Packwood
: Former Sen. Bob Packwood
was a Republican from
Oregon who, according to
CBS News, was "reelected
four consecutive times, and
became chair of the powerful
Finance Committee." During
that time, however, Senator
Packwood allegedly harassed
29 women through "groping,
forced kissing and
propositioning sex." The
Senate's Ethics Committee
was able to prove 17 of the
29 incidents, and Packwood
resigned from his senatorial
seat.
Bill Clinton and
Paula Jones
: As governor of Arkansas, former
president Bill Clinton allegedly
"propositioned [Paula Jones] and
exposed himself to her in a Little
Rock hotel room," as reported by
The Washington Post. Clinton
never admitted to the sexual-
harassment charges, despite the
"brutal legal and public-relations
battle" which ensued during the
mid-1990s. The case was
resurrected in the public eye
during the Monica Lewinsky
scandal, and it is suggested that
"allegations of perjury in [the
Paula Jones] deposition are among
the 11 possibly impeachable
offenses that [Ken] Starr outlined
in his ... report to Congress" in
1998.
Top Cases of Sexual Harassment
• Maxine Henderson and Gwen: In
1996, artist Maxine Henderson's
impressionist portrait of a nude woman
named Gwen rocked the small town of
Murfreesboro, Tenn. A local assistant
superintendent noticed the painting when
it was hung on a wall in City Hall and was
so offended by its alleged vulgarity that
she "submitted a sexual harassment
complaint to the city legal department."
The city ultimately decided that the
painting violated its own sexual-
harassment policies and removed it. As a
result, the artist sued the city "for violating
her First Amendment rights." Henderson
won the case in a U.S. District Court, under
the pretenses that the painting hung in a
public space and that the city's sexual-
harassment policy was not detailed
enough in its description of what
constituted offensive material.
