Sexual Harassment In The Workplace: Europe

Abstract

Rebecca McDonald returned to her office in Leverkusen Germany still angry from her meeting with Bertina Knies in Human Resources.  Rebecca had presented an open-and-shut sexual harassment complaint, clearly supported both by company policies and the Law,  and Frau Knies had not only refused to do anything about it, but had not very politely insinuated that the whole thing was Rebecca’s fault.  The next step would probably be to appeal to Human Resources back in Detroit, since the Germans clearly had no understanding of the way things should work in a modern society.
