Post: Sexual Harrasment

Posted by Bella, bed_of_roses4_u@yahoo.com, on 9/08/03
I have been working for my company for 2 years, the Vice President of the company touched my breast for the first time about 6 months ago and has since made nasty remarks to me concerning doing sexual favors for him..on a daily basis, I told him that I wasn't intersted, but he keeps asking..As for touching my body parts, he does that on occassion also, the HR of the company also tried pulling my pants down as a joke in front of my customers, so I can't go to him with the problems,..I did however speak to the plant manager about all of this, so he is aware of the things that are happening to me on a daily basis. This is all discusting to me, but I am a single female with bills to pay and where I live, there isn't any good jobs, now I don't want to sound lame here, but I have payments just like any of you reading this, I have took the harrassment this long..I am afraid of this all getting out and losing my job..The man in question is also one of 5 owners of my company and has billions of dollars, yes I am afraid of him and what can happen to me... I was told that I have to make a formal complaint to my company, which I think I did to the general manager, I have witnesses to all that I take on a daily basis, now do I have to make a complaint to the State of Michigan before I can attempt to sue my employers???? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated...I am sick all the time from the stress of facing this on a daily basis, and does him threating my job, or singling me out above the rest constitute discrimination on the job? I have never in my life had to deal with any of this, I know what he is doing towards me is very wrong, but I just dont' know what to do? Can I find another job and quit and still sue him for the sexualharrasment? I was told to tape what he says, and to keep a journal of the things that is done and who has witnessed them> Please help in anyway that you can, any advice will help me so much..Thank You
