Re: Harrassment/Hostile work environment
Claims for sexual harassment must be filed with the M.C.A.D. within 6 months, or with the E.E.O.C. within 180 days, of the most recent incident of harassment.
Re: Harrassment/Hostile work environment
Your fact pattern does not explain anything. To sustain a claim for harassment or for a hostile work environment, it must be based on certain qualifiers - such as race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or violation of public policy. Harassment - which is the result of bad management is not unlawful. You mention that the Labor Commission (I am assuming that it's the Labor Relations Commission) found unfair labor practices, but again, I need more facts to be able to properly assess your situation.
