^xaraam caleyki!

I don't know what the law is where you are but over here you don't have to belong to a particular group eg Muslims to complain of discrimination etc- there could be others who have been made uncomfortable by the emails. Get the girl to gather a few others- surely not everyone will agree with the prof. Tell her to get advice, goodness it's out there, sorry my knowledge is UK-specific grrrr. She/they can remain anonymous; if her marks suffer somehow she can say she was victimised or she can wait as someone else suggested- the rules can change however; she may not have a say once she leaves so best to find out now what her options are. Get her to print each and every darn email she sent, preferably from the school email account if she has one. Get the email/names of all others to whom these emails would have been sent. See if she can print it off somebody else's account too. Tell her to seek advice from the best she can get- somebody is bound to know an expert. I have found some bodies that are meant to be helpful miss out on crucial info. God bless Google. I had to deal with an email when I was in a 2 week old job once. I sat on it for less than 24 hours. I was not going to be as seen as the id*ot that did nothing when so-called joke emails(about Muslim, women in particular) were being sent to the whole office by the boss himself. The following day the boss had left for holiday so I couldn't talk with him. Grrr. I went to find the guy who owned the company and let rip for a while- politely. He looked nervous- he was Iranian- and said he had already told the guy not to send out emails like that again. I said I'd speak with him myself too when he returned. When he did return, whilst everybody did the how-was-your-holiday routine with him I didn't so much as look his way. He finally came to see me, stood behind me for the longest time- I pretended not to know or not to care- and let him hang there for a while while I squinted at my screen and 'worked'. Finally he said something, a lot of how-are-yous, how-are-things going, how-are-you, how-are-u-settling-in. Blah fooqa blah. When I saw that he was very uncomfortable, I thought it was better to let him wonder rather than bring it up- what would she do, what will she do?? Mwahaha. What a kalb he was, he refused to give me untaken holiday in pay when I was leaving that job claiming I had no 'right'. I stayed up all night to swat on employment law after that and I have been a fountain of knowledge since. I could go onnnnnnnnnnn. Don't let her sit on her a*se with this; the fear will diminish when she's armed with info. Tell her to put some faith in God, get smart, get knowledge and kick butt. What a spineless biyach she is, claiming a son wrote it. She's waaay tooo st*pid or arrogant; neither is acceptable. Take her down.

^LooL.

You are incorrigible.

^LoL, ya Allah. U need to go to a boot camp run by women.

Women can sue if maternity leave slows career By Sarah Womack, Social Affairs Correspondent Last Updated: 3:30am GMT 13/03/2007 Thousands of working mothers who fall behind in the queue for promotion because they have taken maternity leave will be able to sue their employer for sex discrimination, a High Court ruled yesterday. It said that the time a woman takes on maternity leave - which can be up to a year from next month - must count as continuous service and be included where it affects her promotion. She is also entitled to be fully consulted about any changes to her job while she is looking after her baby. In addition, the court ruled that a woman harassed by a customer can take legal action against her employer for failing to protect her. Yesterday's ruling follows a case brought by the Equal Opportunities Commission that argued that ministers had failed to apply the European Equal Treatment Directive properly. The directive is the piece of legislation that implements sex discrimination law in Britain. Mr Justice Burton agreed that women in Britain did not enjoy proper protection. He has told Alistair Darling, the Trade Secretary, that he has until March 16 to inform the EOC and the court how the Government plans to remedy the situation. Jenny Watson, the chairman of the EOC, said the court decision was a triumph for vulnerable women. It should also come as good news for employers, who now have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities and won't find themselves tied up in expensive and time-consuming cases seeking clarification of regulations that are incompatible with European legislation," she added. Pregnancy discrimination and sexual harassment affect thousands of women each year. A recent EOC investigation found that almost half of pregnant working women experience some disadvantage in the workplace as a result of pregnancy or maternity leave. Sexual harassment cases comprise almost a quarter of all successful sex discrimination employment tribunal claims and sexual harassment remains one of the top five reasons for calls to the EOC's helpline. The High Court said the current definition of harassment was too narrow and failed to ensure that women at work were not subjected to any "unwanted conduct related to their sex which violates their dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment". Harassment by clients is a particular problem in the hotel and restaurant sector, which employs 670,000 women. Mr Justice Burton agreed that a woman should be protected against harassment if her boss knew of such conduct but failed to take any steps to prevent it. Women's rights during maternity leave were also unclear, he said. Susan Anderson, the CBI director of human resources policy, said: "We will have to look at the details of this judgment carefully and fully consider its implications. "There should be zero tolerance of bullying and harassment within the workplace, but when it comes from customers or members of the public it can be difficult for employers to manage." A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government, which has responsibility for policy on equality issues, said the Government remained committed to ending discrimination against women. "This is a case about the technical interpretation of regulations and the requirements of EU law and we will be studying the ruling carefully before deciding on the appropriate way forward. "We have delivered the largest ever package of practical support for women in the workplace, including a doubling in paid maternity leave and maternity pay since 1997." source
