Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Harrassment at work
I have a co-worker that is very zealous in her religious beliefs. She has stated that witches worship satan and such. However, she knows that I am a student of Wicca. Yet, she continues to disrespect my religious beliefs. What can I do to protect my rights and those of other persons who may or may not be like minded?

Re: Harrassment at work
The employer is required to keep a workplace free of harassment and discrimination based upon your religion. Ask her to stop, and if she doesn't, report it to management (in writing.)
Re: Harrassment at work
Even if she is right, the workplace is not where such debates belong, so ask her to not discuss it, and if she doesn't stop, then ask the employer to counsel her to keep her comments to herself. The same applies to you. The coworker wouldn't know about your beliefs if you hadn't brought them up for all to hear, thus You're the initial cause of the problem. I suspect you sought attention. You got it.
