On her Facebook page today one of her friends was:
“Alan Piper, Political Director for the Carolinas at John Huntsman for President”
Alan Piper disappeared from Bialek’s friend list shortly after the Allred press conference.
Well, I knew there had to be an explanation.
I have been sexually harrassed. It was pretty explicit and terrifying and it was by my boss. I resigned without telling the owners why but immediately called the EEOC to file a complaint. I begged them not to pursue it- there were three charges they wanted to start an investigation of- but I begged them not to. When I was asked why I was filing a complaint, I told them I wanted it to be on record to help the next woman.
First off, she didn’t work for him so it wasn’t a workplace harrassment, certainly not sexual harrassment. This is from the government’s website.
“Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
The harasser can be the victim’s supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer.”
I guess Gloria forgot to read that memo.
