That can be harassment and actionable. Call me to discuss.
Re: Define Hurassment
It can also be defamatory -- i.e. slander -- especially if the women are married, since it implies their lack of chastity.
Re: Define Harassment
This may very well be actionable harassment, particularly because it was reported to the Supervisor and he has not done anything to remedy the situation. If the harassing employee is a co-worker, then the harassment generally must be reported to the employer and they must fail to act before the company is liable.
The question of whether the harassment is actionable depends on how frequent and severe it is. I would need more details to fully evaluate the situation. If you would like to talk further, please call for a free consultation.
