Legal Question in Employment Law in California

You should hire a lawyer, in your area, who represents sexual harassment victims and let him or her do the talking for you. You can find a lawyer in your area by going to http://www.cela.org/ and click on Member Search, "sexual harassment" for the practice area and and add the County you are in.

While it is impossible to determine the extent to which you may have a case, these are pretty egregious facts which may form the basis for a harassment and/or retaliation claim against the club. It is unlawful for an employer to permit sexual harassment in the workplace and it is considered unlawful retaliation for an employer to terminate an employee for complaining about sexual harassment or reporting such harassment to a government agency.

Nevertheless, the question, as always, is whether or not you can prove the harassment and retaliation occurred. One of the best ways to do this is to have witnesses testify on your behalf. This can include the other women who have been sexually harassed as well as those who have been fired for complaining about sexual harassment. It would also be necessary to prove you complained to the owners about your manager�s conduct, which can include an email you sent them detailing the sexual harassment by the manager.
