00:00:05.632 --> 00:00:07.226
So, we're having their
birthday party this weekend

00:00:07.237 --> 00:00:08.180
and we're going
to take them bowling...

00:00:08.226 --> 00:00:09.383
Oh...
Oh... nice...

00:00:09.455 --> 00:00:11.258
Hey! You guys...
he's coming!

00:00:18.650 --> 00:00:19.588
Oh...

00:00:19.744 --> 00:00:20.603
Not bad, right?

00:00:20.614 --> 00:00:21.963
Oh my God!
Wow!

00:00:21.974 --> 00:00:25.103
You could bounce a quarter
off those! Oh my God!

00:00:25.175 --> 00:00:26.501
What's the harm?
I mean,

00:00:26.527 --> 00:00:29.480
I don't go around harassing
people like the "other gender" does.

00:00:29.583 --> 00:00:32.433
I'm just checking out the fine men
that come into this department.

00:00:32.489 --> 00:00:33.855
This guy's pretty hot.

00:00:33.989 --> 00:00:35.605
Besides, he doesn't
even work here.

00:00:39.896 --> 00:00:42.995
This one incident probably
isn't sexual harassment,

00:00:43.011 --> 00:00:45.230
but it is certainly inappropriate.

00:00:45.365 --> 00:00:47.292
Based on the employee's
comments, we have to assume

00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:50.636
that this isn't the first time this kind
of behavior has taken place.

00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:54.744
So, it is likely to reoccur if he has
to deliver to this location again

00:00:54.755 --> 00:00:56.277
and nothing is done about it.

00:00:56.568 --> 00:00:58.910
And as it gets repeated
or escalated,

00:00:58.921 --> 00:01:02.367
it could rise to the level of
unlawful sexual harassment.

00:01:02.783 --> 00:01:06.954
Interestingly, the delivery man's
employer has the duty of protecting him

00:01:06.965 --> 00:01:11.196
from sexual harassment - even if it takes
place at another company's location

00:01:11.207 --> 00:01:14.992
and even if the harassers are not
employees of the delivery company.

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:17.811
Once the delivery man's
employer knows about this,

00:01:17.828 --> 00:01:21.088
it has a duty to take whatever
actions are within its control

00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:25.463
to stop this from happening again - such
as notifying the employer of the problem.

00:01:25.848 --> 00:01:28.992
That means, the harassers won't get
off the hook for their behavior,

00:01:29.003 --> 00:01:33.182
even though they might not be sued under
employment laws for sexual harassment.

00:01:33.801 --> 00:01:35.073
It's also important to note,

00:01:35.084 --> 00:01:38.260
that any gender can unlawfully
harass another other gender.

00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.448
Women can harass men, women,
and transgender people;

00:01:41.585 --> 00:01:44.370
men can harass women, men,
and transgender people;

00:01:44.489 --> 00:01:48.182
and transgender people can harass men,
women, and transgender people.

00:01:48.457 --> 00:01:51.799
The employee's belief that she
is somehow immune from liability

00:01:51.810 --> 00:01:53.937
for her sexually
inappropriate behavior...

00:01:53.948 --> 00:01:55.260
is incorrect.
