Your Rights at the Workplace:
The Things Your Boss Won't Tell You
The notion of an ideal
workplace, free of discrimination, harassment, and lawsuits, is becoming
an increasingly unattainable ideal. The reality that exists in most
workplaces is that worker as well as employer rights are often misunderstood
or neglected. Such misunderstandings or neglect of ones rights
can put employer and employee at odds, especially when dealing with
harassment, discrimination, and unfair treatment.
Employees do not often
realize that unpleasant, provoking, or frustrating conduct of an employer
may be a form of discrimination that does not have to be tolerated.
Conversely, employers may not realize that discrimination complaints
by employees may be without legal merit. Understanding ones rights,
whether employer or employee, is key to creating a work environment
that is free from both illegal conduct, and from unnecessary litigation.
With Leo Terrells
book, "Your Rights at the Workplace: The Things Your Boss Wont
Tell You," an employee can now determine what constitutes discrimination,
and what legal procedures they can take to resolve it. It is also serves
as an equally important guide to employers so they may not only deal
with, but also prevent discrimination lawsuits.
