[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 899949, member: 9789"] Based on my limited knowledge of Penn State's policy on sexual harrassment, it sounds like Joe Pa did what he was supposed to do. The person who actually saw the incident in the shower was obligated to go to the police as an eye witness. If Joe Pa went to the police, what he had to say was hear-say. At UPS, and I can talk about this as an expert, I was told to take this info to the next level or HR. I was also told at that point - the info was highly confidential and not to discuss it with anyone else. If I personally saw the incident and it was something the police should be involved in, I would absolutely take it to them without hesitation. In almost all cases, what people bring to you is hear-say. Follow the proper process and let the people who are specifically trained to handle these investigations do their job. I probably had people bring me around 5 incidents of sexual harrassment a year. But you should not know what is going on because it is highly confidential. Joe Pa has a good case IF he followed the proper process and was dismissed for second hand knowledge. [/QUOTE]
