Week 3 EOC-Workplace Fairness

I think that the NELA would sponsor a site like this for two reasons. The first one would be to educate the public on their rights to a lawyer. Many people are not familiar with their rights. I think this the NELA wants to promote not only themselves but also the rights American people have.  The second reason would be to show people how they should be treated correctly in the work place. To give people a place they can go to, to get information about the way they should be treated in a work place. Also to give guide people in the right direction to someone who can handle the problems that are taking place at work? “The National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) advances employee rights and serves lawyers who advocate for equality and justice in the American workplace.”(NELA website) Books, articles, reports; Facts & statistics; Legal services are some of the refecnes you make view on this website. Harassment issues would be a big one. In the hospitality work place, you are working in small, compact areas. A simple bump here or miss understood conversation there could really affect the business, the customer, and the employee. It’s extremely difficult to handle a harassment case. I think the managers "could lay down the law" right from the jump. “Managers must conduct them professionally and with respect.” (Hayes and Ninemeier, 86). Don't allow room for grey area. Also talk to your employees and see what goes on when the manger is not around. As a manger you would also want to hire people you can trust, and who know the laws or are willing to educate themselves about the laws. Mangers need to follow policies and producers correctly and respectfully. "A policy or action that is perfectly legal must still be applied in a legally coherent (fair) manner, or the courts will simply not support its use.” (Hayes and Ninemeier, 86)
