About this title

Synopsis

Addresses the latest thinking about what constitutes sexual harassment. Outlines the laws, their history and how to use them. Describes the effects of this issue and offers recommendations for the future. Enables those being harassed to take action against the abuse; obtain support from others; help institute a strong workplace policy and file a formal complaint. Also helps managers and union leaders prevent harassment and deal with it effectively should it occur. A significant amount of actual harassment experiences appear throughout and assist in shaping the advice presented.

Reviews

Two new books on sexual harassment on the job offer frank discussions on the origin and scope of the problem and outline practical suggestions for surviving in today's workplaces. The 9 to 5 Guide to Combating Sexual Harassment takes an anecdotal approach, recounting numerous examples of questionable behavior to define what is harassment and what is not. Authors Bravo and Cassedy, who are directors of 9 to 5, the National Association of Working Women, cover the role managers, unions, and employers should play in preventing harassment, and they devote a chapter to what to do if you are a victim of harassment. The advice in this book is basic, sometimes simplistic, but it is generally a good overview. Attorneys Petrocelli and Repa present a thorough treatment of the subject in Sexual Harassment on the Job , including clear analysis of the laws and court decisions on harassment. Sample anti-harassment policies appear, as do suggestions for developing training programs that sensitize workers to harassment issues. A good review of the available legal remedies and a 50-state survey of fair employment laws are useful. Nolo Press has once again taken a complex legal subject and made it accessible to laypersons.
