Minnesota Sexual Harassment Lawyers & Attorneys

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines sexual harassment as any “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature,” that affects a person’s employment, work performance, or creates a hostile environment.

Sexual Harassment laws apply to virtually all employers and employment agencies, and protect employees from inappropriate sexual conduct perpetrated by supervisors and other employees in the workplace.

Sexual harassment as well as sexual discrimination occurs all too often and can happen in many different situations and through many behaviors and actions, such as:

• Unwanted or inappropriate touching
• Unwanted exposure to graphic sexual discussion or verbal abuse
• Unwanted exposure to pornography
• Unwanted sexual jokes or banter
• Unwanted or unwelcome sexual advances
• Requests for sexual favors
• Sexual assault or other violence in the workplace
• Physical endangerment of women in the workplace because of gender
• Sabotage of the work of women by men

Many times a woman gets the uneasy feeling that getting a job or advancing in the company is a matter of going along with the sexual advances of an owner, manager, supervisor or co-worker. Victims of sexual harassment often feel that if they do not tolerate the sexual advances, there will be negative consequences such as bad performance reviews, demotions, or even the possibility of being fired.

The harassed victim will be forced to choose between keeping her job to provide for herself, her family or her children, and submitting to the sexual harasser. As a victim of sexual harassment, you will soon become so stressed out that you don't even want to get up in the morning because of the pressure you are feeling at work. Sexual Harassment can be devastating, and it is often one of the most distressing situations in a persons life.
