I was recently demoted at my workplace and replaced by a female with a degree. I work at a boxing gym and have female members. today i was told by these female members that the new supervisor approched them inquiring if i've ever asked them out or if they've been sexual harassed from my part-something i never did. They stressed how disappointed they felt about this questioning and they felt offended. A source told me that she was infringing my civil rights, i just don't know how? i will approched management about this situations but i want to be able to let them know how they were infringing my civil rights. i feel discourge and disappointed-Please help.

First, I'd suggest that you read your employee manual -- if the company issued you one.
Second, if no employee manual exists, I would suggest contacting your company's human resource department prior to going to management.
Third, make a list of the names of the clients that informed you that these types of questions are being asked about your behavior.
Also the below web link has information regarding employment law and civil rights -- bookmark and take a read.

First, never believe a "source" or the ever elusive "they". She MAY be in violation of your civil rights, but you need to do a few things first.
Keep a journal. Log every incident in that journal when, or shortly after, it happens. Note the time, witnesses, things said, etc. Make it as detailed as possible. Start it with the ladies that you spoke to who were approached.
Second, find out why you were demoted. There may be a gender neutral reason. Don't presume that the manager was choosing a female over you because she is a female. It could be the degree or it could be some other reason. Find out why.
Third, once you believe you may have enough to prove that your new female supervisor, or your manager, is trying to get rid of you because you are a male, contact the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). They will investigate if they believe it is warranted.
Lastly, keep your attitude straight and continue to be a professional. Be on time, etc. No need to give them an out for tardiness or something else.
Good Luck

Try some web pages for Employee rights...also look at ACLU for sexual harassment. By asking clients if they have been bothered by you is going well over the line. You may want to file a complaint of discrimination with EEOC or Human Rights. If she has no grounds for these questions if your a male and were demoted, you may have a case. Get your facts together and do some checking

so what? you in ordinary words keep affirming what they don't like because you're SOLO smart that you extremely understand the way it really is? enable me ask you a question: in case you do not come across approaches to maintain on with regulations, even regulations that you imagine are infringing on your civil rights, what are you going to do once you get a job and also you've even extra regulations about the way you're envisioned to maintain on with or lose your interest? college is an section the position you're assume to be getting to understand issues which could actually help you once you graduate. trust me, contained in the actual international, there are extra regulations that you received't like than those on your college. So, my advice to you is, flow ahead and tell it like you spot it. wrestle with the college directors about your Civil Rights. Get kicked out of school, get married and characteristic childrens, and proceed to exist welfare because you've your civil rights. Or Do You? on the different hand you could keep your mouth close and pay interest to others and do what you want to do to finally graduate, flow to school, get a job, meet an excellent guy, marry and characteristic toddlers who you and him can help contained in the custom that you'll favor to. Your selection. P.S. Civil rights could be earned. they don't look to be loose. do not trust me, purely ask the Civil Rights attorneys

It is your employers right to ask clients about your actions. an employer must know what actions their employees have done and must be informed of said actions. No civil rights have been infringed upon.

Im not really sure if she was. It sounds as though she just wanted to make sure you were ok. Maybe she has a problem with you if she had no reason at all to ask those questions. Talk to her and see why she did it.

I would say you prolly have a good discrimination case and maybe even a slander case , look up the EEOC website it has lots of information on it. (EEOC is equal employment opportunity comission)

No she was not. It is not a civil rights issue.
