Sexual harassment in meat dept
Permalink   


2 months ago a much older co-worker put his hands on me back in the meat cooler. He came up from behind me, while i was bent over, and grabs me by my hips and squeezed. I scream....he laughs! "Whys your face so red"? I tell management. Store manager pulls this guy into office (two weeks later) and gives him a sexual harassment letter to sign and put in his file, and we all just need to learn to get along. Nothing else done. Guy even admitted to doing this and NOTHING was done.

4 weeks pass...same guy goes to hand me off a 10lb tube ground beef (2ft long and 6" dia) in a vertical position...as I took the tube he started moving it up and down, as if to immulate I am masturbating the tube....Told management....the guy denys it this time...my word against his...

End result...because he has been there longer then me Kroger is offering me to be transfered to another dept or store, but he gets to remain....what kind fo world do we live in...where the problem itself is not dealt with???????? This is unreal to me!!!!!!!

Written statements.  Make them.  (Get help, if needed.)  Make copies.  Submit to Human Resources.

Store managers can be abusers and thugs.  They are not the final authorities.

 I myself was transfered cause I made a big stink over food safety and underweight product. They know how to cross their t's and dot their i's. They used every loophole to move me rather than stop the chicken from draining on grapes and apples.

It be all over the news but since I addressed it internally I'm known to have these pictures. So I'm SOL unless I want to be sued. 

 

Just how it is I guess. Realistically this should be dealt with. In reality your better off just leaving bad situations cause they will ruin you and your family to protect krogers family friendly image.

Give him a taste of his own medicine. He tries to humiliate you by sexual behavior, reply to him same way. Like when he handed you tube of meat, you could say "what are you compensating for?" or you know, anything similar. Let's him know that his words are unwelcome, and your retorts will make it not so much fun for him.

 seems the perv would have the upper hand here.  Perv could claim sexual harassment and since he's been there awhile....
