‘Third-Party’ Harassment: Is the Customer Always Right?
http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/39507/third-party-harassment-is-the-customer-always-right
There is only one boss. The customer. But what if the customer or another outsider is harassing one of your employees? Can your organization be held liable? One court recently warned employers against adopting the “hear no evil, see no evil” strategy.
Freeman sued her employer for third-party harassment. A lower court dismissed the claim, saying the behavior stopped once HR got involved. But Freeman appealed and won because the supervisor failed to take action when she learned of the harassment.
As the court noted, “An employer is liable under Title VII for third parties creating a hostile work environment if the employer knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take prompt remedial action reasonably calculated to end the harassment.” (Freeman v. Dal-Tile Corp., 2014 BL 119739, 4th Cir., 4/29/14)

Dr Ibsen – we see so many people who are legally addicted to their meds crossing over to heroin and illegal use of drugs in South Florida. They get arrested and their life really spirals out of control and that is when myself and other criminal defense and family lawyers have to try and help them get out of the mire. Thank you for being so courageous to help. I would also like to suggest that you look into some natural substances that Dr. McCurdy of U of Miss has been researching to help addicts get off Rx opiates and deal with pain – mitragyna speciosa. It is legal, won’t kill anyone and won’t have any harm to their body and you can add it to your withdrawal regime for them. And, it is legal and doesn’t require Rx.
Dr Ibsen has this article published on the www.nationalpainreport.com and the above is a comment apparently made by a female attorney in S FL. The substance that she is suggesting common name is Kratom and according to the above video.. the DEA is going after this substance.. and they won’t be wanting to make it a C-II…. it will be C-I…
This poor attorney and other attorneys have to bill hour$ trying to help these poor addicted souls out of the trouble they are in .. that the same judicial system created for them to fall into.
IMO… another classic example of someone within the judicial system… interfering with the practice of medicine. The judicial system creates a problem (black market) then they go after shutting down the black market that they created… Isn’t it like raising chickens… as long as you don’t kill/eat all the chickens and/or eat all the eggs… you will always have a good supply of chicken & eggs to eat… If you eat half of the eggs laid and half of chickens hatched… you will soon have enough chickens and eggs to sell to neighbors to buy feed for the chickens.
