Unwelcome and Unlawful: Sexual Harassment in the American Workplace
Author: Raymond F Gregory
Nearly every American woman will, at some point during her working life, be sexually harassed, according to Raymond F. Gregory, a lawyer specializing in employment and discrimination law. Unwelcome and Unlawful provides information for those victims as well as for those suffering samesex harassment and for male victims of sexual harassment. Gregory analyzes sexual harassment from the perspective of existing federal law and describes the legal rights that may be asserted by victims of harassment to obtain either injunctive or monetary relief. Conduct of a sexual nature that occurs in normal workplace socialization is generally not unlawful, but it will be considered to have crossed the line of legality if it is unwelcome and is sufficiently severe or pervasive to undermine an employee's work life.Questions typically arising in a sexual harassment case include: oWhat types of workplace conduct are classified as sexually harassing? oWhen is sexual conduct considered unwelcome? oWhen is sexual conduct perceived as severe or pervasive? oWhat are the obligations of an employee to report acts of sexual harassment? oIf sexual harassment is proven, what monetary damages and other relief may the victim expect to be awarded? oWhen is an employer liable for acts of sexual harassment committed by its workers and supervisors? oWhat privacy rights does an employee claiming sexual harassment have? By clarifying littleunderstood aspects of the law barring sexual harassment, the author presents an indispensable resource for victims seeking to learn what to expect from the legal system if they contest the actions of their harassers in the courts.

Library Journal
Employment and discrimination attorney Gregory believes that most working American women encounter sexually harassing situations at some point in their careers. His book aims to help readers recognize what constitutes sexual harassment under the law and understand what to do about it. The author discusses and distinguishes the various kinds of harassment and explains in thorough detail the patterns of conduct that courts find to be "severe and pervasive" enough to act on. Gregory reviews the responsibilities of the employer and the harassed employee and explains the relief available if harassment is proven. There are also chapters on same-sex harassment and the harassment of men by women. The author uses actual cases as illustrations and is particularly adept at putting harassment law in the context of social and cultural changes. Highly recommended.-Joan Pedzich, Harris Beach LLP, Rochester, NY Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
