If you knew that a female co-worker was being sexually harassed [View all]

at work what would you do?

I learned that three women were harassed at my school by the head custodian (a married man). The women didn't report it and they made excuses, "maybe in his home country it is OK behavior", "he might not help me in my classroom", "I do not want to make it into something and feel more ashamed". I was pissed off so I went and reported it to the union and there was a mandatory special staff meeting with union reps there and handouts about our rights. It never happened again.
