(6,828 posts)The client was a 100 employee machine tooling manufactory that had about 40% female employees. Our project's location forced all their employees to walk adjacent to us from the parking lot to the main entrance. The client wrote in the contract that it was our (the general contractor) responsibility to enforce onto all construction personnel that there would be no cat calling toward his employees. Everybody was on their good behavior and we had no trouble until the steel erection sub-contractor began assembling the super structure. His crew were somewhat uncivilized and there were complaints almost immediately. It was incumbent upon us to tamp down the sub's behavior. This became a problem immediately since enforcement by termination was not, for practicality's sake, in our purview. They weren't our employees, we had a schedule to make, there was no other erection company which could/would perform on budget and to schedule. We had a wise old superintendent who took the entire erection crew aside and mentioned that those women could be their mothers or sisters and how would they like the catcalling on their own family. The shaming worked perfectly well and there were no further incidents.
A professional nurse that mocks the application of modern science in a public venue, for the world to see, has marched outside the realm of employability. She and people like her have no shame but I doubt that any amount of shaming has been tried on her because that might be an attempted violation of her right to free speech. Ultimately all employers are in position to be tyrants.
