Want this question answered?
Simple. If the conduct is contrary to, or in violation of, the laws promulgated by the legislature then those actions are unlawful.
Questioner needs to define what they mean by "coercion" -BUT- as a GENERAL rule, yes, coercion is usually considered unlawful conduct.
I dont think so, seeing how unlawful sexual conduct is a federal offense.
* The victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or a man. The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex. * The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee. * The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct. * Unlawful sexual harassment may occur without economic injury to or discharge of the victim. * The harasser's conduct must be unwelcome.
the answer is conduct
Prank calling is considered harassment. It can also be considered disorderly conduct. Phone records make them easy to trace. You might want to ask yourself what you have to gain and if it is worth it.
I don't know the definition of harassment in US law but under the UK Protection from Harassment Act harassment is;a course of conduct on two or more occasions causing alarm or distress and requires that:A person must not pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment of another, and which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other.The person whose course of conduct is in question ought to know that it amounts to harassment of another if a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other.It is not really possible to give specific examples for the simple reason that a course of conduct which may be held to be harassment of one person may not necessarialy be seen to be harassment of another.It can and does depend on the knowledge of the individual persuing the course of action and the personal characteristics of their victim.See the resonable person test in para. 4 ibid
Unlawful conduct refers to behavior that is forbidden or prohibited by law. This can include actions that are illegal, criminal, or violating regulations or ordinances set forth by governing authorities. Engaging in unlawful conduct can result in legal consequences, such as fines, imprisonment, or other penalties.
One external influence a company encounters when determining how and where to conduct business globally is the type of economy a country has. Another influence might be the laws of the region and permits that will be necessary. Tax payments are also considered in a global market.
Sexual Harassment
harassment
Yes. Any type of action or communication that is unwelcome and is so serious that it causes what is called a "hostile work environment" falls under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations regarding harassment. One e-mail is most likely not going to amount to actionable harassment, although there has been a case where only one instance of conduct did.
