Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Louisiana
My husband has been harassed by another male (a credit manager)
My husband has been having problems with another co worker for years. This co worker has made sexual comments to my husband and other employees. He has also put his hands on my husband. My husband has told the guy to stop & also complained to management numerous times. Nothing has ever been done to protect my husband or the other employees that have been harassed. The manager told my husband to just ignore the guy & his comments. The manager of this branch is afraid of this one employee because he has been with the co. for almost 30 yrs & he is personal friends with the owner. So he allows things to go on at this store that he shouldn't. Porn is viewed on company computers by certain employees. The credit man. has talked about doing oral things to other male employees, he has made fun of one guys '' size'' in front of everyone, after seeing the guy using the bathroom, he tells everyone my husband is gay. This employee threatens peoples jobs & says they are only there because he allows it. He has lied to get my husband fired. Other co workers have had to tell management the truth to save my husbands job. 2 weeks ago, my husband ended up loosing his job because of this man. My husband wants to take legal action. What can he do?

Re: My husband has been harassed by another male (a credit manager)
Your husband's case sounds like a classic sexual harassment matter. There are a lot of criteria to meet, however. Your husband should make an appointment with an attorney to speak face-to-face. Most attorneys who handle sexual harassment cases, like myself, will not charge you anything to sit down and talk about your case. It will be time well spent for you.
