my boss ( a man) commented on my nipples being visibly erect through my shirt.
Is this sexual harrasment?
I don't want to lose this job, I talked to other females who have to deal with him and they said he always makes comments like that and the last girl who reported him was fired.
Isn't this illegal?

Is it illegal?? You betcha!! If you tell this jerk that his behavior is inappropriate or report him to his superiors and get fired, find an employment law attorney that very same day--there are attorneys that will take this type of case contingency fee, which means that it won't cost you anything unless you win the case (something that that other gal must have decided wasn't worth her time). BUT, and this is important, you have to tell either HR or his superior so that there is a paper trail (or there should have been a report on file). In fact, take someone with you as a witness. If it's a big corporation, they won't tolerate his piggish behavior because it will cost them way too much.

Sexual harassment is illegal and so is firing someone for reporting the harasser.
You can complain to his supervisor, but go in armed with documentation of his comments and support from your co-workers. He may have been getting away with it for a long time just because people are afraid to complain. They will, of course, tell you that you need to speak directly to him first and only go to them if you have done this and got nowhere.
If the supervisor or HR department are unwilling to do anything, take it to the ministry of labour. No employer likes to have to deal with them, and if they get a call from the labour board, they will jump up and act on it.
In the meantime, you can wear a sweater.

She agreed that once the youngster grew to become 2 you may make different arrangements. The time has come. Remind her that she agreed to that concept and tell her that it relatively is suited on your daughter's social progression if she is going to a daycare with different toddlers. she would be in a position to in all probability attempt to guilt you into reconsidering, and your husband ought to offer you grief besides, yet on the top of the day you should settle on what's suited on your baby. communicate on your husband and do what you think of is suited. That woman for sure does not choose to resign her $4 hundred and he or she has been spoiled. there is infinite issues she would be in a position to do, from her very own residence too, to make money. And her husband's interest ought to relatively be bringing in money. stable success and remember this in case you have yet another youngster.

Yes to both questions. If he has a supervisor, or you have a human resources department, you can report it. Paper trail him first, and if youcan get the other females to be witnesses, so much the better.

It probably is, but hey... wear a sweater or something, and let it go--THIS time only. If he keeps it up, let him know you'll not be harrassed. Sometimes people have to be reminded of the boundaries.
