I had to quit my job do to workplace harrassment?

i had to recently quit my job because my boss and hr would not do anything about my complaint on harrassment from a co-worker. she has called a nurse a white b**** and threated to beat her a** and nothing was done. she is very racial to white people and works with the elderly and not pleasant to them either . she threatened to slap me to a nurse and the nurse choose to come and tell me which is very unprofessional. and the supervisor did nothing so i wrote a letter to the d.o. n. and she did nothing but take me off the unit where we worked togeter. hmmmm i told the d.o.n. that i can not work for a company that allows this behavior anylonger so i quit but what can i do legally to stop this company from this type of behavior and someone else ending up the same way i was or and elderly person being abused from this lady. i loved my job and got along with everyone . is it because she is black she can do this crap to other people its not fair ...... help me stop her

File suit!!! ASAP I did

If you belonged to a union, go to your union rep. Otherwise, contact your city or state labor board and file a report to see if they can start an investigation.

Depending on how much more you want to be involved with this company, i can only suggest you see someone higher up in that company and write out everything you have heard,been involved in or witnessed personally.......i am sorry that this is happening to you.
Sadly it is happening more and more to people involved in the nursing profession, etc........you do not have to be a doormat!!! and standing up for what is right can be very hard.........sooooooo get out your paper and pencil, or write down a log of what is happening and email it to someone who can help you..........good luck,

first of all , you should of not quit! but stay there and gather evidence, talk to a lawyer and see what to do! and yes, it is because she is a minority that the hr and company won't do anything to her....but if you had proof then it would prove that her acting like that has nothing to do of her race but because she is a jerk face of a person! good luck!
