State Police office worker claims harassment in lawsuit (lesbian trooper v. straight female)
Boston Globe ^ | 9/3/2010 | Shelley Murphy

Posted on 09/09/2010 5:13:25 AM PDT by WaterBoard

LaFauci, an administrative assistant in the certification unit in Danvers, said that when she told Bennett, who is gay, that she was upset by the overtures, Bennett cut her hours, unfairly disciplined her, and told her, “Who knows, AnnMarie, accidents happen, they could find you in the back parking lot with blood pouring out of your head.’’

But “diveeeeersiteeee is good?!?!?!? We HAVE to recognize the rights of a queer’s behavior over the rights of a person who follows society’s norms. Weren’t you told that a queer’s behavior is no different than anyone else’s?

Bennett, who joined the force in 1983, married her longtime female companion in 2004 after Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage. She serves as the State Police liaison to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community.

Anyone wondering why real crime isn't getting solved or stopped by the police needs to look no further than this dreck. Crime has taken a back seat to diveeeeeersiteeee and political correctness.

The court gets involved in a she said/she said situation the court created with PC, queer acceptance and all it's ramifications, a willing accomplice in the NEA destroying logic, common sense and God in the minds of the children that ARE NOW GROWN UP AND IN EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES !!!!

Whining little brat child/adults that Roy Bean would have hung and men of instant determination would have shot.

Y'know, I really believe some of 'em really WERE horse theives and rapists and murderers.

What is interesting is that an Internal Affairs investigation found that the 27-year veteran of state troopers was unprofessional, yet never disciplined.

“However, State Police sustained LaFauci’s complaint that Bennett “exhibited unprofessional conduct; verbally, written, and through a convened meeting’’ on Feb. 2 of this year.”

Must be awesome to have a job where you can use threats of violence to get sex and keep your job.

The bull-dike cop in the article sounds like a perfect fit for an obama czarship to me. Maybe she could take Rahm’s place when he becomes ruler of Illinois?

The only person the story indicates in any way as gay is the person being sued. Looks like bull-dyke out of control who is part of the Internal Affairs Office. How convienient.

This is about homosexual abuse by someone in a position of power. As more homosexuals are put in positions of trust, there will be more abuse. Homosexuality is a mental illness that is accompanied by emotional instability. Homosexuals by being "out of the closet" can now openly abuse any position of power that they are given. And then they will play the victim. It will only get worse.

I watched the video. It was sad to watch. I believe that she was harassed by her Lesbian boss. But apparently it was her word against her lesbian boss's word, and she came up on the short end.

It would seem that Straight people need to learn the same tricks that gay/lesbians people are taught about harassment n the workplace.

When it becomes apparent that this may be a problem...

Consult an attorney who is familiar with sexual harassment and get advice from him or her.

Start taking notes.

Tell other people, and get witnesses (if at all possible).

Below taken from what I found on line.

What You Can Do

When you are deciding what to do, remember that every situation is different.There is no one best thing to do. You should always report the sexual harassment to your employer. You then have the option to use your company’s sexual harassment complaint process, file a charge with a state or federal agency, and/or go to court.

It is important to talk with a lawyer or legal services organization.They can help you to understand your choices, their benefits and risks as well as the strengths and weaknesses of your case.

Say “No” Clearly

Tell the person that his/her behavior offends you. Firmly refuse all invitations.If the harassment doesn’t end promptly, write a letter asking the harasser to stop and keep a copy.

Write Down What Happened

As soon as you experience the sexual harassment, start writing it down.Write down dates, places, times, and possible witnesses to what happened.If possible, ask your co-workers to write down what they saw or heard, especially if the same thing is happening to them.Remember that others may (and probably will) read this written record at some point. It is a good idea to keep the record at home or in some other safe place.Do not keep the record at work.

Report the Harassment

Tell your supervisor, your human resources department or some other department or person within your organization who has the power to stop the harassment. If possible, tell them in writing. Keep a copy of any written complaint you make to your employer.It is very important that you report the harassment because your employer must know or have reason to know about the harassment in order to be legally responsible for a co-worker, client or customer’s actions. Even if your harasser was your supervisor, you may need to show that you reported the harassment to your employer or give a good reason why you didn’t.

Start a Paper Trail

When you report the sexual harassment to your employer, do it in writing.Describe the problem and how you want it fixed.This creates a written record of when you complained and what happened in response to it. Keep copies of everything you send and receive from your employer.

Review your Personnel File

It is your right to see your personnel file.If you work for a private employer, in certain states including California, you have the right to request and receive copies of everything in your file that you have signed.

Use the Grievance Procedure at Work

Many employers and schools have policies for dealing with sexual harassment complaints. You may be able to resolve the problem through this process.To find out your employer’s policies, look in your employee manual/personnel policies and/or speak to a human resources officer. It is important to follow your employer’s procedures.

Involve your Union

If you belong to a union, you may want to file a formal sexual harassment complaint through the union and try to get a shop steward or other union official to help you work through the grievance process. Get a copy of your union’s grievance policy and see if it discusses the problems you are experiencing. If you use your union’s grievance procedure, you must still file a complaint with a government agency if you want to file a lawsuit in federal or state court.

File a Discrimination Complaint with a Government Agency

If you want to file a lawsuit in federal or state court, you must first file a formal sexual harassment complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and/or your state’s fair employment agency (in California, this is the Department of Fair Employment and Housing).(See “Resources” section for contact information.)If you are a federal employee, follow federal guidelines on how to lodge a sexual harassment complaint. You can obtain these guidelines from the Federal Labor Relations Authority at (202) 482-6600.

Do not miss deadlines for filing with the EEOC or other government agency! Do not delay in filing a complaint with your employer! If you start to feel that your employer’s process for dealing with the sexual harassment may not help you, don’t wait to file a formal complaint.This is very important! You cannot bring a lawsuit against your employer unless you have first filed a formal sexual harassment complaint with the EEOC or your state fair employment agency.
