Reply to comment by PuritanSettler1620 in THIS SATURDAY! We're speaking out against abuse at work across the nation to call for change by dignitytogether

What if the abuse has a discriminatory impact, but you can’t prove discriminatory intent that the courts now call for?

Then what you have is a hunch not a case

No, that’s actually how anti-discrimination law started.

Yeah but in this country we believe you are innocent until proven without a reasonable doubt guilty, a standard I think ought to be extended to employers.

That is included in the proposed legislation.

I looked up the proposed legislation, it is an extension of the nanny state in an effort to "disrupt social hierarchies at work" and is a pseudo socialist attempt to hamper the opperations of business in this commonwealth. I will be writing to my State senator to vote against this bill and amendment.

Sounds like a fear-based response. Take care.
