The U.S. Postal Service has set up a hot line for postal employees in Maine to report harassment complaints. The agency has lost or settled five lawsuits filed on behalf of female postal workers in Maine who say they were sexually harassed. The hot line is one of a number of steps the agency is taking to make sure employees are able to voice their concerns about inappropriate behavior, said Elizabeth Johnson, the district manager for the Postal Service in Maine. Callers can ask questions as well as lodge complaints, she said.
Callers can also leave their messages anonymously.
The Postal Service faces more Equal Employment Opportunity complaints for sexual harassment than any other federal agency. J. Foster Co.
