It sounds like your partner is being sexually harassed, and her employer is failing to put a stop to the harassment and may be retaliating against her for complaining about the harassment. Not only is sexual harassment illegal, so is failure by the employer to prevent and remedy harassment and retaliation against an employee who complains about sexual harassment. If she hasn�t already, your partner should put her complaints in writing and keep a copy. Please feel free call our office a call for a free consultation. Consultations are completely confidential. Our office number is (213) 536-4236.
