Well this guy that works with me asked me what to do I turned to ANSWERS because ther is a lot of feedback from good citizens. My friend works at a car dealership as a porter and he is of the middle eastern descent, he tells me that a couple of characters continuously harrass this poor soul daily with racial remarks, remarks about his physique, remarks about his descent etc, he by the way is a very soft spoken and a polite person, single father of four kids, just trying to survive and support his kids, but now he is sick and tired of all this, he has told them on many occassions to stop it but they keep on doing it, he wants to take the neccessary steps in getting this situation taken care off and worst come to worse sue the company, can someone please let me know what to tell him, I have seen and heard myself how they treat this guy, its simply pathetic.

Well, if he has already talked to them and they refuse to stop then he needs to start moving up the ladder and talk to his boss, then his with his boss' boss, and so forth until he's gone as far as he can. Then, if no one has done anything to help him he should talk to an Attorney. I have a suggestion for you and I don't mean anything bad by it, but maybe you should say something to them since you have witnessed it yourself. As for me, I've always been a mouth and I don't mind sharing my point of view openly, but I also know these situations can be difficult for others to address publicly. However, if you tell these guys that you don't appreciate what they are doing then maybe they will stop.

the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission protects the rights of all workers. see the poster in your employer's office or breakroom. document all forms of harassment without adding emotional details and give them the information. be sure to follow the chain of command in place at the job site first.

FYI commas=/=periods. Your question is a whole two sentences. I would call the police, or convince him to.
