My question is at the end of my statement.
I was first sexually harassed outside of work by my supervisor when he rubbed up against my back with his front. Then reached around and felt up my breasts. I told him no, I never gave him any indication that I liked him in any way, during work or outside of work. The supervisor was abused as a child by his mother, and grew up to hate and look down on women. He is physically and verbally abusive to his girlfriend's, and looking down on all other women. He was mad that I told him no, and in front of his friend's. He then brought his grudge against me to work and begain harassing me in the workplace. Insulting me, degrading me, and making it as hard as possibale for me to do my job. I talked to another supervisor about the issues I was having, as well as a union steward. Nothing was done. I finally said enough was enough and went to HR, the B.U.M., and the head of the union, and told them what was going on. They never did an investigation, even tho the company has the zero tolerance of harassment policy ( which I know means any form of harassment that causes a hostile work enviornment, and causes stress, and anxiety within the workplace.). I even brought in a witness to my harassment and they still didnt do a investigation. Instead I was fired after talking to them....
Rejected suitors and sexual harassment
It is not sexual harassment for your boss to ask you for a date, but if you turn him down and he punishes you for the rejection - by firing you, transferring you, denying you a promotion, etc. - this is probably sexual harassment.
My question is: I've called 30 lawyers and none would take my case because I was part of a union. As soon as I said that I was union they would hang up. WHY??? Is the company above the law that say's that harassment in the workplace is illegal, just because the union is working for the company? Do women just have to deal with the harassment because they are union members and the union is working for the company instead of for the workers? How can I find a lawyer that will take my case?
