What is the new law under consideration to keep employers from harassing workers.?


I read this on another site where they were discussing bad bosses and someone said they hoped the new law passed to keep employers from harassing workers. They were not talking about sexual harassment.

On May 25, 2007, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signed into law Senate Bill 07-025, which bans employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and religion.

Colorado is the 20th U.S. state to ban workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and the 12th to ban discrimination on the basis of gender identity. With this new ban on additional types of discrimination, state law will afford the citizens of Colorado an increased level of protection currently not available under federal law. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not expressly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Also, unlike Title VII, which applies only to employers of 15 or more, the CADA applies to all employers, even those with only one employee.

That's great. Another useless set of laws posing another threat to free speech (which is all that sexual harrasment laws are).

Here's the best way to deal with a harrasser: harrass him or her.
Best line I ever delivered to a sexual harrasser, who called me a sexually suggestive name.

That's right, Tiny I said.

How do you know I'm Tiny, he said.

I asked your wife, I said.

Never bothered me again.

Oh good grief, don't tell me that now it's going to be illegal for a boss to tell his fat, lazy employee to stop stuffing Cheetoes in her face while watching Youtube and screwing around on Myspace to actually WORK.

"Boo Hoo, my boss is harrassing me, he wants me to do my job to get paid and not play games on the internet! Wahhhhh!"

LOL, I see there are at least two people that this scenero hit a little too close to home!
