This is the second part to the “Sexual Harassment in Restaurants” forum sponsored by the PRWA.

Although the EEOC has sighted restaurants as the top source of sexual harassment claims and the Department of Labor requires public businesses have policies that protect workers from sexual harassment: restaurants have been slow to act.

The workshop will focus on developing a comprehensive sexual harassment policy for restaurants and a brainstorming session to create solutions to this serious problem in the industry

All restaurant workers and allies are encouraged to join.
