Are congress members exempt from EEOC laws?



The employer will be liable for harassment by non-supervisory employees or non-employees over whom it has control (e.g., independent contractors or customers on the premises), if it knew, or should have known about the harassment and failed to take prompt and appropriate corrective action.


We're all watching in real time as a number of outspoken seditionists continue to bully, threaten, harass and intimidate fellow members of Congress. If that's not a hostile workplace, I don't know what is.

Who is in charge? Who is responsible for getting the situation under control?

Maybe litigation is the way. It’s not okay.
