Can We Sue For Mental Abuse And Harassment?
My grandmother works in calexico, ca and she is
mentally harass by her boss , to the point of calling
out of nowhere in thanksgiving at 1 pm and ask why is
she not in the office that someone has to be there ...
and anyone else did not work that day ... her work
place is a company that imports and exports,they have
like 30 or so employees in USA and Mexico .... My
grandmother is 61 years old in April and she already
can retire, but she wants to be that at 65 you give
their full retirement and apparently her boss want her
out...how do we know? he is the cousin of my
grandmother and his father is the brother of my great-
grandmother.
In recent days her boss sent an email to my uncle
saying that he wants the family to persuade her to
retire early. In the email he wrote that my grandmother
is old and fat and that he is afraid that my
grandmother will die at her desk because she spends
more than 12 hours a day seating there, so is my
grandmother who is 61 years spends on the job 12 hours
from 6 am to 6 pm and he just cut her overtime fee.
Also her boss read all of her emails and if she sees a
website (facebook, youtube or sports) he blocks it...
we know that she should not be in these pages but
literally he is watching what she does in a computer in
order to close or block, she says that before she had a
facebokk acount everyone had it open in their computer
but when she had her open, he block it in a week.
This is just some examples, the harassment is really
bad in that office... and is just not fair to a 61 year
old women who is a widow and lives alone to stand; he
only does this to her because he knows he need the job
and the really wants her out...
We did not do any thing before becuse her boss is
family but now after that hideous and shocking email,
we cannot imagine the abuse that she must endure every
day...
thank you very much for your help!
