Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Massachusetts

I believe this is sexual harassment

Myself and 2 other employees quit our job due do the constant remarks and gestures by the owner. The owner blows kisses at me also stares at us as we are walking around the room, Rubs up against us, always is adjusting himself while talking to me, and is always commenting about women and why he's never married, because women are to moody.

please tell me if we have a case and can collect unemployment because the situation was just out of control.

Thank You

Claim unemployment immediately - tell intake worker that you left bgecause of sexual harassment and outline facts for her.

Re: I believe this is sexual harassment

You can collect unemployment if you left for an "urgent, compelling or necessitous" reason. Sexual harassment would be such a reason. Document everything that he did and get statements from others who he harassed or who witnessed his conduct.

You may also file a claim of discrimination with the Mass. Commission Against Discrimination.

Good luck.
