Is workplace harassment legal? The name for it is Mobbing and Bullying is it legal in the workplace? What can be done in order to have the issues taken care of if HR is not doing about it other than allowing the situation to contniue to go on. Is there any legal help for this? I was told by a lawyer that if it does not have anything to do with EEOC guidelines than what can be done? Someone please help me. I was also terminated for filing complaints making me out to be a trouble maker and a liar all while I am now pregnant. Can some one help me and tell me what I can do?

Were you pregnant before you were fired? If so, you may be able to file an EEOC complaint due to pregnancy discrimination.
If you were not under a union or an employment contract the employer can fire you for anything EXCEPT discrimination. Those discrimination bases are on the EEOC site and your state's human rights dept. Each state has a dept or commission that handles employment discrimination. If your treatment WAS NOT due to discrimination, there is nothing you can do. |

The answer to your question is no.
Anything further you need to get in-depth help. I was a union steward for 5 years and these things get tricky.
Have you started documenting the date, time, and details of what is going on? I am talking direct quotes over a period of time.
People can say anything about you. When it is not true, it is called slander. When it is written, it is called liable.
When you file for unemployment insurance, all you have to prove is that you tried your best at your job and you win.
Good luck, let me know. |

If the harrassment falls within guidelines for the EEOC then you could pursue it. But if the attorney tells you that it does not fall in those guidelines then it is not something you can pursue, legally.
The wrongful termination issue is a different story. Did they tell you the reason for your termination was because of your complaints? Did the termination have anything to do with your pregnancy? If you work in an at-will state then they can fire you with or without notice, and with or without cause. You could call up your local EEOC office and see if they feel you should file a charge of wrongful termination with them or not. |
