I was sexually harrased at work, the guy admitted it and they fired him, now his friends are angry with me and harassing me I told my employer, there answer was to take my job duties from me(without compensating the pay I will lose, about 2000 a month) and there answer when I told them is that friends stick together and that I am just not allowed to go around where they are. They took my work station from me and moved me into a different department they say it is for my protection because they feel people may retaliate but I feel with the loss of my pay and job duties i am being punished and they are trying to get me to quit as I have become a liability to them what rights do I have should I obtain legal advise, please help I cry at night not wanting to come to work the next day

If you have contacted your HR department and they are unwilling to help then you should seek legal advise. You can get them for harassment...it doesn't have to be sexual harassment.

Go to EEOC and file a complaint you have a real lawsuit. Good luck, in your endeavors.

You should not be punished or adversely affected in any way for reporting sexual harrassment to your employer. It is a violation of the Federal Law. You should immediately contact an attorney.

be wise, wait a bit , play the game, buy a small audio recorder, if you can , discretely take pictures, but make extra sure no one sees you, take notes of all the circle of friends, and write all of their names on paper, when an unfair event happens, take note of the time and date, collect as much data as possible, you will need it, if you want justice you need proof, and take the time to write down all the events that took place from day one, WRITE IT DOWN, as you do that , you will find yourself much more patient because you know that eventually justice will prevail, but don't let that overconfidence show, let things flow, and things will fall in place.

Get a lawyer...go to the Labor Board...Civil Liberties Union...and anyother Federal or Local Agency available...burn their Butts....and your employer is a party to all of it...sue..sue ..sue.
