“Don’t Blush Baby”: Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Submitted by Felicia Browne, Human Rights Advocate
Sexual harassment is a form of workplace bullying. Workplace bullying is verbal, physical, social or psychological abuse by an employer, employee, colleague (or manager), or another person or group of people at work. […]
Workplace bullying can happen in any type of workplace, from offices to shops, cafes, restaurants, workshops, community groups and government organisations. According to the United Nations General Recommendation 19 to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (UN, 1992), sexual harassment includes: unwelcome physical contact, verbal remarks and sexual advances. Sexual harassment in the workplace may involve a demand for sex in return for a job benefit or other actions that create a hostile, humiliating or intimidating working environment for the victim.

As usual, the AC consortium is spewing ill-informed views filled with incoherent rhetoric on this issue, proving once again how STUPID these individuals are. The more these monkeys climb, the more they show that they are indeed monkeys. No research has to be done to conclude Gayle’s behaviour was inappropriate.
If “There are intentions and calculated impressions to coerce the mind into believing that certain cultural norms are unacceptable unless directed by Certain class or race” WERE RELEVANT to this PARTICULAR ISSUE, why would India, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Australia contract West Indians cricketers to play in their T20 tournaments and pay them such exorbitant fees?
Chris Gayle has enjoyed fame in the international arena as a T20 SUPER STAR, a TITLE that was bestowed upon him by the same WHITE JOURNALIST that some jackasses are now accusing of racism. We have to agree that racism exists, but is it fair to label the results of every incident between blacks and whites as a racist motive, especially if one interprets that the result as not being in favour of the blacks?
Come on, it’s time you think before you write the shiite you continually post to BU.

There are two different types of sexual harassment claims, although the manner in which a court will distinguish between the two for purposes of deciding whether harassment has occurred has become blurred in recent years:
Quid Pro Quo: Sexual harassment that occurs when a supervisor or one in an authority position requests sex, or a sexual relationship, in exchange for not firing or otherwise punishing the employee, or in exchange for favors, such as promotions or raises.
Hostile Work Environment: SEXUAL HARASSMENT that OCCURS THROUGH the presence of demeaning or SEXUAL photographs, JOKES or threats. The inappropriate behavior or conduct must be so pervasive as to, as the name implies, create an intimidating and offensive work environment. [Source: employment.findlaw.com]

It is very interesting to note the first item on page 2: “UNWANTED PRESSURE FOR DATES.”
But, knowing the consortium, they will try desperately to “spin” the issue, when they know their bowling action has been suspect for a very long time.
Neither you or me are attorneys at law and our opinions do not matter. However, it must be taken into consideration that Melbourne Renegades may have solicited a legal opinion so as to determine if they were within the law and what legal options/recourse was available to Gayle, before imposing the AUS$10,000 fine.

Hello! Because you hail someone as a sporting hero and admit him into your sporting arena does not mean you are inviting him into your bedroom. Places, everyone! Besides which I think one newspaper did label him the “Gayle Farce” and describe him sarcastically as the “West Indian saviour coming to take our money.” This was before the incident. I found THAT to be offensive to our region. Don’t hear them saying that about any of the other overseas players whether they perform or not. How about Kevin Pieterson? Nothing about the “English saviour coming to take our money.”
Before we lose track of the main issue however, Gayle was wrong whether the lady was white, black or brown. My point was only that the outrage was probably greater because of her race.

Artaxerxes,
Quite true we cannot bring race into every situation but do you recall reading a Nation Newspaper article by Tony Cozier in the days of Ridley Jacobs questioning the disparity in sanctions and fines meted out to West Indian players when compared to players from other teams? Racism is seldom far away. Don’t fool yourself!
LikeLike
You are nit picking.
Let me give you a simple example. Assume I was assigned to District E police station and after a report of a disturbance in Mullins was made, the sergeant on duty requested another officer and I to visit the scene of the alleged incident. When we arrived on the scene, we REPORTED FOR DUTY, even though WE WERE NOT in the STATION.
We subsequently show our certificates of appointment, identified ourselves as police officers in plain clothes and try to get information on the matter from the complainant. In the course of conducting our investigations someone made a comment which we deemed as being inappropriate causing us to arrest the individual.
Juxtapose the above scenario with the situation involving Gayle. TV reporter Mel McLaughlin, (perhaps under instruction from her supervisors), REPORTED FOR DUTY at THE CRICKET GROUND where she INTERVIEWED Gayle. So we can safely conclude that she “WAS ON THE JOB.” Gayle made his inappropriate comments to her while she was on DUTY in her capacity as a reporter. His remarks were INTERPRETED as being enough to make her feel uncomfortable while CONDUCTING her duties and merited the imposition of the fine.

Sir you are confusing the issue. The police is an officer of law and is permitted by law to use actions with in the extent of law to arrest a persons only using guidelines satisfactory to law
I would again like to ask where in the law adjacent to enviroment or use of language would Gayles comments on this issue be deemed sexual harassment
To those who want to follow the script being handed in the public domain as pertaining to Gayle one must also not forget that there are histories where blackmen were lynched and hanged for just looking at a white by standards deemed inappropriate. The symbolism now being duplicated in the high tech lynch mob and degradation along with attacks of the wealth.
Fear not the day is fast approaching when all the gains a rich black male or female was able to achieved would be easily retrive by smooth talking supermacist with clandestine actions.

That is what people who are aware, try to avoid. Boundaries are very important.

You have to be pretty careless or not very bright to say that Bill Cosby “admitted” to anything egregious. All Cosby admitted to was (1) giving sleep-inducing over-the counter medications to a woman who said she was sleep-deprived and needed a good night’s rest, and (2) buying pills (Quaaludes) that he intended to give to women WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND PERMISSION. In case you don’t knows the score, in the 1970s and 1980s, alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, Quaaludes, and many other drugs were used by literally MILLIONS of Americans in big cities to “loosen the inhibitions”, and enhance sexual pleasure.
Many of the women accusing Cosby are probably gold-diggers who see a man with diminished credibility who has political enemies and a big bank account ripe for plunder. Some are liars. Others are revising and distorting the facts to serve their interests. It is pathetic that so many intellectually feeble men are unable to see how feminist ideology is turning prominent males into victims.

Chad…none of what you say does Cosby any good. Cosby is only a make believe doctor on a tv show.

How come it’s only women he wants to ‘help’ go to sleep.
Evidence allowed him to be charged, it was strong enough. More than one victim said they never knew he gave them drugs. As I said, that’s all he will be remembered for………

You are the one who is missing the point and it just goes to show you don’t know the meaning of juxtapose. The point is, similarly to how police officers do NOT have to be in a station to perform their duties, reporters do not have to be in a news room to their duties as well. Anytime a reporter is on the job and interviewing someone and the interviewee makes a comment or action that makes the interviewer uncomfortable as a result, such action or comment can be deemed as harassment.
Gayle has made an inappropriate comment to a BLACK FEMALE JOURNALIST in ANTIGUA, and was admonished for doing so. So I guess that was racism as well?
You are just being IGNORANT as usual. LIKE IT OR NOT, Chris Gayle is bad behaved loud-mouth idiot who thinks he is bigger than cricket, hence he calling himself “The World Boss” and he displayed the jackass he is by making inappropriate comments to a BLACK female journalist and subsequently to a white female journalist.
AS I WROTE IN A PREVIOUS POST, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE WOMAN WAS BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW, BROWN, RED, POLKA DOT OR MULTI-COLOURED, GAYLE WAS WRONG.

i would not replay what i said however i will remain steadfast and focused of what i intuitively recognized as a new formed of racism which is building against wealthy black man
That is my focus as such evidence is being played out in the media,
Saying Gayle was wrong is not enough of a conviction to convince that the fines and reason of sexual harassment tagged was appropriate and justifiable to what Gayle said.
Therefore as individual well knowledgeable of my history i refer to my history and sees clues and similarities as guidelines to make a differentiating stance

“Rose coloured glasses,” shiite… you should be telling yourself it’s time to take of those DLP blinkers.
What irritates is that whenever an issue comes up between Blacks and other races, people of your ilk always shout “racism.” People like you just like to talk shiite and quote from history to give yourself the impression that you are standing up for BLACK people. However, when the occasion arise for you to do so, you always find some excuse to “run and hide out of fear or appeasement.”
You are NOT “guided by the lessons learned from a Rosa Park and a Martin Luther who did not run and hide out of fear or appeasement or to be politically correct.” In Parks’ case black people boycotted the bus system; people like you are the first ones to support the white man’s businesses, trust things form the “Coolie man;” shop in stores owned by Syrians and Lebanese, such as Abed’s, Bionic Man Shop or Flame Shop; support Chefette and S.Y Adam, but shout racism because it is “politically correct” when it suits your agenda.
When the white manager of Bizzy Williams’ hardware store assaulted a BLACK customer and was not terminated, only one man went to protest, which meant NONE of you were there to protest in solidarity.
You are just another hypocrite who varies your thoughts on matters/issues according to how it fits into your agenda, politically or otherwise. Here you are condoning Gayle doing shiite, but then again you are supportive of measures/policies implemented by this DLP administration, irrespective of how unfavourably they may affect your fellow BLACK Barbadians.
Bottom line is, Gayle did shiite, he was fined accordingly and I am happy with the situation. Unfortunately, a similar fine was not imposed on him in Antigua.
