Maybe it has happened to you. It is a form of sex discrimination, and it is against the law. There are state and federal laws that can protect welfare recipients and others working in low-wage jobs. The law says sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual conduct on the job. The harassment makes the work site hostile, scary, or uncomfortable.
Sexual harassment can happen to women or men, and the harasser can be a man or woman.
A person also can be harassed by someone of the same sex. You have the right to be free from sexual harassment at work. At the welfare office or job placement agency that sends you to a work site. Tell the harasser that you want it to stop. Write down what happened.
