U.S. Reps Clark and Pressley Introduce 'Be HEARD' Act to Protect Workers from Workplace Sexual Harassment
U.S. Representatives Katherine Clark and Ayanna Pressley, both of Massachusetts, introduced an anti-sexual harassment bill in the House that aims to reduce workplace inequalities, mistreatment, and violence for all workers.
The bill, called the "Be HEARD" Act: Bringing an End to Harassment by Enhancing Accountability and Rejecting Discrimination in the Workplace, would grant federal protection to employees who find themselves without recourse in a toxic work environment of sexual harassment or sexual orientation discrimination.
