Re: sexual harassment
It is illegal under federal law for an employer to retaliate against you for reporting unlawful conduct. You may want to file a Charge of Discrimination against the employer with the EEOC.
A word of caution, however, it may be difficult to prove that the hours are being cut back because of the complaint. Before you file, you would probably be well-served to sit down with an attorney, go over your case and see if you have a good likelihood of success or not.
