[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 204533, member: 7666"] I've had the opportunity to deal with harrassment at UPS. Quite often employees think "sexual harrassment" is the only type that is not acceptable. Any time an employee feels UNCOMFORTABLE in the workplace, it can be construed as harrassment. More often than not, the employee was terminated from UPS. I have also seen other types of discipline, from suspensions with no back pay, to management not getting a stock award or a pay increase. There can also be legal issues for both UPS and the employee. Respect in the workplace by [U][B]all UPS[/B][/U] employees would eliminate these types of situations. Types of harassments [LIST] [*][B]Bullying[/B] Harassment that can occur on the playground, school, in the workforce or any other place. Usually physical and psychological harassing behavior perpetrated against an individual, by one or more persons. [*][B]Psychological harassment[/B] This is humiliating or abusive behavior that lowers a person’s self-esteem or causes them torment. This can take the form of verbal comments, actions or gestures. Falling into this category is workplace mobbing. [*][B]Racial harassment[/B] The targeting of an individual because of their race or ethnicity. The harassment's include words, deeds, and actions, that are specifically designed to make the target feel degraded due to their race of origin or ethnicity. [*][B]Religious harassment[/B] Verbal, psychological or physical harassment's used against targets because they choose to practice a specific religion. Religious harassment can also include forced and involuntary conversions. [*][B]Sexual harassment[/B] Harassment that can happen anywhere but is most common in the workplace, and schools. It involves unwanted and unwelcome, words, deeds, actions, gestures, symbols, or behaviors of a sexual nature that make the target feel uncomfortable. Gender and sexual orientation harassment fall into this family. [*][B]Stalking[/B] The unauthorized following and surveillance of an individual, to the extent that the persons privacy is unacceptably intruded upon, and the victim fears for their safety. [*][B]Mobbing[/B] Violence committed directly or indirectly by a loosely affiliated and organized group of individuals to punish or even execute a person for some alleged offense without a lawful trial. The 'offense' can range from a serious crime like murder or simple expression of ethnic, cultural, or religious attitudes. The issue of the victim's actual guilt or innocence is often irrelevant to the mob, since the mob relies on contentions that are unverifiable, unsubstantiated, or completely fabricated. [*][B]Hazing[/B] To persecute, harass, or torture in a deliberate, calculated, planned, manner. Typically the targeted individual is a subordinate, for example, a fraternity pledge, a first-year military cadet, or somebody who is considered 'inferior' or an 'outsider'.
