Human Resources lady sexual harassment training

She is a very nice young lady. On my way to punch out. And she told me and my friend we have to stay for sexual harassment training this morning. She checked our files and saw we never had the class. Now it would be time and half the 2 hours even though class is like 1.25 in time. I said no in that one you have to give us a notice. It’s in union contract and two ain’t nobody here id want to sexually harass. I’m heading home to have a few cold beers. And yes beers as in plural time punch out. I’ll say this she looked confused but it is time to go.

You'd be surprised at what people don't know that gets them into MOUNTAINS of trouble with regard to sexual harassment. I've personally had to fire more than a half-dozen people for behavior that they thought was "harmless" or "joking" but crossed a line that they chose to ignore. Half of them were people whom I'd have preferred to keep. Two others were personally sued and one lost his job, his house, and his wife. These training sessions are no joke.

But we’re union freight and I don’t bend for management. I been union 32 years and we have rules I follow rules you as management follow rules. But I’m relaxed but this morning I was not hanging around. And I have worked around women and no I do not operate ignorantly. Years ago we had a guy who came to America from China as a child. Well he would call me and friend pollock twins well a Hr manager heard him call me that. And said you cannot say that he said it’s ok they call me Gook. We never called him that but he said her eyes got huge.
