Post Office Would Be Based on Harassment

¶ … Post office would be based on harassment based on gender. I have provided you with definitions of discrimination and harassment. It would be up to you to prove that the harassment is based on gender. For example, are other female mail carriers not given auxiliary help or is it just you? If it is just you, you probably will not have a case.

Here are the EEOC definitions of harassment and discrimination: Discrimination Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), it is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including: Hiring and firing; Compensation, assignment, or classification of employees; Transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall; Job advertisements; Recruitment; Testing; Use of company facilities; Training and apprenticeship programs; Fringe benefits; Pay, retirement plans, and disability leave; or Other terms and conditions of employment.

Discriminatory practices under these laws also include: 1. Harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age; 2. Retaliation against an individual for filing a charge of discrimination, participating in an investigation, or opposing discriminatory practices; 3. Employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities, traits, or performance of individuals of a certain sex, race, age, religion, or ethnic group, or individuals with disabilities; and 4.

Denying employment opportunities to a person because of marriage to, or association with, an individual of a particular race, religion, national origin, or an individual with a disability. Title VII also prohibits discrimination because of participation in schools or places of worship associated with a particular racial, ethnic, or religious group. Employers are required to post notices to all employees advising them of their rights under the laws EEOC enforces and their right to be free from retaliation.

Such notices must be accessible, as needed, to persons with visual or other disabilities that affect reading. Note: Many states and municipalities also have enacted protections against discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation, status as a parent, marital status, and political affiliation.

[1] Rather, they simply bar discrimination in the "terms, conditions, or privileges of employment." [2] But courts -- sometimes on their own and sometimes following the EEOC's lead [3] -- have interpreted these definitions to bar not only discrimination as it's traditionally understood, but also two forms of "harassment": 1.
